  Analyzes the experience of gentrification for residents of two predominantly black New York City neighbourhoods. This book aims to dispute the conventional wisdom that gentrification is almost always a bad thing for long-term residents of disinvested neighborhoods. It also suggests ways for limiting the negative aspects of gentrification.
