{"product_id":"race-class-and-politics-in-the-cappuccino-city-1","title":"Race, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City","description":"For long-time residents of Washington, D.C.'s Shaw\/U Street, the neighborhood has become almost unrecognizable in recent years. Where the city's most infamous open-air drug market once stood, a farmers' market now sells grass-fed beef and homemade duck egg ravioli. On the corner where AM.PM carryout used to dish out soul food, a new establishment markets its $28 foie gras burger. Shaw is experiencing a dramatic transformation, from \"ghetto\" to \"gilded ghetto,\" where white newcomers are rehabbing homes, developing dog parks, and paving the way for a third wave coffee shop on nearly every block.Race, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City is an in-depth ethnography of this gilded ghetto. Derek S. Hyra captures here a quickly gentrifying space in which long-time black residents are joined, and variously displaced, by an influx of young, white, relatively wealthy, and\/or gay professionals who, in part as a result of global economic forces and the recent development of central business districts, have returned to the cities earlier generations fled decades ago. As a result, America is witnessing the emergence of what Hyra calls \"cappuccino cities.\"\nA cappuccino has essentially the same ingredients as a cup of coffee with milk, but is considered upscale and double the price. In Hyra's cappuccino city, the black inner-city neighborhood undergoes enormous transformations and becomes racially \"lighter\" and more expensive by the year.","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220003115352,"sku":"9780226449364","price":92.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780226449364.jpg?v=1769758216","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/race-class-and-politics-in-the-cappuccino-city-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
