Before Gentrification

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of gentrification and systemic racism, the book delves into how capitalist and carceral systems have contributed to the downward mobility of Black families in Washington, DC. Through personal narratives and extensive research, it reveals how policies of dispossession and criminalization have set the stage for gentrification, leading to racial inequality and community disinvestment. This work highlights the urgent need to understand these dynamics to resist the harmful effects of neoliberalism and advocate for racial justice.
