Where the citys 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. A cappuccino has essentially the same ingredients as a cup of coffee with milk, but is considered upscale, and is double the price. In Hyras cappuccino city, the black inner-city neighborhood undergoes enormous transformations and becomes racially lighter and more expensive by the year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51677937041696,"sku":"NEW022644953X","price":36.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71-b-0okPhL.jpg?v=1779300151","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/race-class-and-politics-in-the-cappuccino-city-022644953x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
