New!
From: Gentrification Is Inevitable and Other Lies
$3.40
Chapter 6 focuses on the physical displacement of people, families, and communities through gentrification. Topics discussed include personal accounts of displacement, the connection between people and their neighbourhoods ( relationships, memories, shared histories, emotions, events), how displacement can have negative effects on people’s health and happiness, the “right to stay put” protests, the use of state violence through police for gentrification and displacement, colonization and continued displacement of Indigenous peoples from their lands, the power imbalance between landlords and tenants, and the developing crisis of displacement during the Covid-19 pandemic.
