Gentrifier: A Memoir

by Anne Elizabeth Moore Author

In 2016, Anne Elizabeth Moore was offered the opportunity to live in a house in 'Banglatown,' a primarily Bangladeshi neighborhood on Detroit's north side, chronicling her life there as well as the life of the neighborhood. The result is this powerful reflection on class, race, community solidarity, and the difficulties facing neighborhoods in cities around the world: the housing crisis, government corruption, and the drama of clashing identities in a rapidly changing neighborhood.
