Description
Hard to find anything objectionable in the book, and it corrects some very prevalent misconceptions.
The impact of gentrification on race, class, gender, age, and Indigenous peoples are astutely explored. seemed to fall into the trap of “if the activism isn’t perfectly intersectional it’s not worth doing” at times, which i struggled with. honestly I checked out a little when they used Tenderloin San Francisco USA as an example of a gentrified neighborhood.
Certain myths and lies mentioned in the book are not properly demystified, on which I hope the author had done a better job. Kern acknowledges intersectionality but her arguments often seem very silo'ed; it feels like she's comparing tomatoes to potatoes. By the time this book is in your hands, the stories I weave here will have already begun to unravel and be rewoven by others.
but i'm also not sure who is and the whole time i was reading this (over the last two days lol) i kept feeling like Kern was an outsider looking in, taking a very far away view of gentrification process and anti-gentrification activism. In Gentrification Is Inevitable and Other Lies , Leslie Kern travels to Toronto, Vancouver, New York, London and Paris to look at how gentrification is killing our cities and what we can do about it. Por lo cuál difícilmente puede lograr tener las escalas de cambio para enfrentar un fenómeno que se presenta en muchas ciudades del planeta. A stunningly illustrated book of extraordinary city maps, telling the story of human civilisation throughout history.
Readers who have read a fair amount on gentrification might think Kern’s book won’t offer any surprises, but Gentrification is Inevitable may encourage you to reframe and rethink some of your ideas. but to compare her besties drag king performance as a hysterical gentrifier to Moms 4 Housing or landback movements or, hell, even CLTs seems weird and distorting. I learned a lot about the factors that influence gentrification and its relationship with other discriminations like misogyny and racism.
