Description: A historic Houston barrio provides an illuminating lens on neighborhood reputation. Neighborhoods have the power to form significant parts of our worlds and identities. A neighborhood's reputation however doesn t always match up to how residents see themselves or wish to be seen. The distance between residents desires and their environment can profoundly shape neighborhood life. In A Good Reputation sociologists Elizabeth Korver - Glenn and Sarah Mayorga delve into the development and transformation of the reputation of Northside a predominantly Latinx barrio in Houston. Drawing on two years of ethnographic research and in - depth interviews with residents developers and other neighborhood stakeholders the authors show that people's perceptions of their neighborhoods are essential to understanding urban inequality and poverty. Korver - Glenn and Mayorga's empirically detailed account of disputes over neighborhood reputation helps readers understand the complexity of high - poverty urban neighborhoods demonstrating that gentrification is a more complicated and irregular process than existing accounts of urban inequality would suggest. Offering insightful theoretical analysis and compelling narrative threads from understudied communities A Good Reputation will yield insights for scholars of race and ethnicity urban planning and beyond.
