The Roots of Urban Renaissance: Gentrification and the Struggle Over Harlem, Expanded Edition Goldstein Brian D.
An acclaimed history of Harlem's journey from urban crisis to urban renaissanceWith its gleaming shopping centers and refurbished row houses, today's Harlem bears little resemblance to the neighborhood of the midcentury urban crisis. Young Harlem activists, inspired by the civil rights movement, envisioned a Harlem built by and for its low-income, predominantly African American population. Brian Goldstein traces Harlem's Second Renaissance to a surprising source: the radical social movements of the 1960s that resisted city officials and fought to give Harlemites control of their own destiny.
The Roots of Urban Renaissance demonstrates that gentrification was not imposed In the succeeding decades, however, the community-based organizations they founded came to pursue a very different goal: a neighborhood with national retailers and increasingly affluent residents.
