C.'s Shaw\/ U Street the neighborhood has become almost unrecognizable in recent years. Where the city's 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 double the price. In Hyra's cappuccino city the black inner - city neighborhood undergoes enormous transformations and becomes racially \"lighter\" and more expensive by the year.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Race Class And Politics In The Cappuccino City\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Hyra Derek S.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The University Of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780226449531\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Urban Communities","brand":"Hyra Derek S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49593382568241,"sku":"IN-G-9780226449531","price":38.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780226449531.jpg?v=1729807470","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780226449531-race-class-and-politics-in-the-cappuccino-city","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
