The Death and Life of Gentrification by Japonica Brown-Saracino A provocative account of what is gained & what is lost when a word that once narrowly referred to neighborhood change takes on a new life.

If you're in Chicago, consider joining me at Women & Children First on Wed., January 14 at 7 PM. I'll be discussing my new book, The Death and Life of Gentrification, with Dr. Teresa Gonzales.

In Italia continua a mancare un tema nel dibattito sulla casa: il CONTROLLO DEGLI AFFITTI. Ne parlo in quest'articolo della Rivista di Studi Politici, a partire dalla conferenza "Gentrification and Displacement" organizzata a ottobre 2023 da @lorettaclees.bsky.social e @jbrownsaracino.bsky.social!
