Description
This book examines the connections between race, place, and space, and sheds light on how they contribute to the creation of racial hierarchies. The author focuses on the white residents of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, which, according to the Cooks Political Report Position Voting Index, is the most liberal district in the state and 15th in the United States of America. Paying particular attention to Jamaica Plain's settler colonial history, the book explores how self-identified progressive white residents perceive their changing neighborhood and how the process of gentrification influences their perception of their positionality. Using the extended case method, as well as in-depth interviews, participant observation, content analysis and visual/media analysis, the author reveals how systemic racialized inequality persists even in a politically progressive borough.
