Reading: We Belong Here: Gentrification, White Spacemaking, and a Black Sense of Place by Shani Evans

  • Rose City Book Pub 1329 Northeast Fremont Street Portland, OR, 97212 United States (map)

In We Belong Here, Shani Evans explores the dynamics of gentrification from the inside through a case study of Northeast Portland, OR, a historically black neighborhood. Drawing on a rich inventory of ethnographic fieldwork, this book unsettles some of the economistic determinants around gentrification scholarship and foregrounds the significance of race and racism in neighborhood change.
