For long-time citizens of Washington, DC’s Shaw/U road, the local has turn into virtually unrecognizable in recent times. the place the city’s such a lot notorious open-air drug marketplace as soon as stood, a farmers’ industry now sells grass-fed red meat and do-it-yourself duck egg ravioli. at the nook the place AM.PM carryout used to dish out soul foodstuff, a brand new institution markets its $28 foie gras burger. Shaw is experiencing a dramatic transformation, from “ghetto” to “gilded ghetto,” the place white beginners are rehabbing houses, constructing puppy parks, and paving the way in which for a 3rd wave espresso store on approximately each block.

Race, type, and Politics within the Cappuccino City is an in-depth ethnography of this gilded ghetto. Derek S. Hyra captures right here a speedy gentrifying area within which long-time black citizens are joined, and variously displaced, by way of an inflow of younger, white, particularly filthy rich, and/or homosexual pros who, partly due to worldwide fiscal forces and the new improvement of vital company districts, have again to the towns prior generations fled a long time in the past. consequently, the United States is witnessing the emergence of what Hyra calls “cappuccino cities.” A cappuccino has primarily an analogous components as a cup of espresso with milk, yet is taken into account upscale, and is double the fee. In Hyra’s cappuccino urban, the black inner-city local undergoes huge, immense changes and turns into racially “lighter” and costlier by way of the year.
