"Maurrasse brings the magic of storytelling to his careful analysis
of the paradox of urban development: revitalized homes and
businesses but continued economic disenfranchisement of long-term
residents." -- Professor Lawrence Aber, New York University
"Urbanists, Harlem residents, and really anyone who loves cities
but fears the consequences of unplanned economic growth will admire
Maurrasse's ability to combine street conversations with Harlem
citizens, exciting social science theory, history, policy analysis
and even a poetic eye to the conflicting forces that together
comprise the changing landscape of Harlem. This book doesn't
deceive with facile solutions to gentrification and race relations;
it plows right through to the core of the challenge." -- Professor
Andrew Hahn, Brandeis University, Heller School for Management and
Social Policy
