Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"A very good ethnographic study of a small community in Washington, DC. . . . Students of the new cultural studies, field research, and social theory will find the work to be strongest in its presentation of data."—Choice, December 1988"Upscaling Downtown is a clear, marvelously insightful analysis of the cultural dynamics of gentrification."—Karen Bordkin Sacks
Library Journal
Anthropologist Williams, a former resident of ``Elm Valley,'' in Washington, D.C., traces the evolution of the community from the 1950s, when it sheltered mostly black familiesnew home and shop owners with shared moresthrough the influx of refugees from other cultures, affluent white home buyers, and outside investors. An uneasy, segmented community structure has replaced the earlier rich, cohesive relationships. Williams places the transformation of Elm Valley in national perspective and considers the extent to which a group's attitudes and beliefs about another are shaped by media images. General readers and academics will find this thoughtful and provocative. Suzanne W. Wood, SUNY Coll. of Technology, AlfredProduct Details
