Shifts in America’s socioeconomic geography have been documented since the 1960s, demonstrating the reversal of white flight and the reshaping of a nation, evidenced by the growing divide between underprivileged citizens and the wealthy. As state and local governments continue to scale back social services that impact health and well-being, how will disenfranchised groups fare in this expanding, market-driven global society? Uprooting Urban America addresses this query by examining the social consequences of policies that change urban landscapes during the process of gentrification. In this book, junior and senior scholars present contemporary research findings and innovative strategies within the fields of education, healthcare, geography, sociology and policy studies. The book is ideal for graduate and advanced graduate level courses in the disciplines of education, sociology, cultural studies, political science, public policy, urban planning, social justice education and health care and human services.
If you genuinely question & are interested in corporate & public interplay in the US, then this book is for you. It takes a critical look at the effects of gentrification in different areas--schools, jobs, housing, medical. It also includes a range of researchers and activist scholars on the topic--Akom, Ayers, Books, Fullilove, Giroux, Hall, Watkins, Wyly and many others. Definitely purchase the soft bound copy (it will suffice). This is a must read and an eye-opener for (I think) all--in the US & abroad!!
