really liked it

An in-depth look at urban race and class issues, especially gentrification. A thorough exploration of a difficult subject, based on years of living in a transitional neighborhood, wonderful interviews and scholarly reflection. Set in Philadelphia but could be any major city. The only thing weird about this book was the overuse of "quotation marks" for any sort of "slang words" throughout the "book," it got a bit "tiresome."
