About this product
Product Information
Cities are the prime locus of class conflict today. Often described as gentrification, the material bases and concrete manifestations of this new form of social violence have too often gone uncharted, however. Through an historical and ethnographical account of the changing face of one former working class neighborhood in Boston, Good Neighbors provides fascinating insights into how the urban elites have reshaped the neighborhood they now inhabit. Investigating the mix of inclusion and exclusion that characterizes elite culture, Tissot demonstrates that while new mixed demographics emerged and coexistence alongside different populations - whether for their income, their ethnic origins or their sexual orientation - have become a prized quality, social barriers have not in any sense been erased, indeed quite the contrary.

Reviews
"Because of the quality of the ethnographic enquiry and the relevance of the issues raised, this approach to gentrification allows Tissot to go beyond simplistic accounts of the sociological transformations of a neighborhood." -- Nonfiction.fr "The rich material gathered during in-depth field enquiries and the invaluable archives collected from the inhabitants will win the skeptics over. A significant contribution to the debate surrounding progressive upper class culture." -- La vie des idees.fr "Gentrification has been the object of a very rich sociological literature. This book is an original contribution to the debate. Tissot is a master in the art of sailing in the murky waters of 'progressive' discourses, and she does so without a pinch of salt." -- L'Humanité " Good Neighbors is a solid and fruitful contribution to current debates around urban and social coexistence." -- Le Mouvement Social, "You don't have to share Tissot's politics to worry about the underlying dynamic she describes: Under almost any rules for civic engagement, people with resources and connections can steer the process to their own advantage. Even liberal values can disguise a form of control." -- Boston Globe "Sylvie Tissot--a hip, brilliant, de Tocqueville of the post-'68 left--casts a fair but jaundiced eye on America's plump underbelly of tolerant privilege and its flattened idea of diversity. A truly memorable account of gentrification and its discontents." --Michael Sorkin "What is interesting about the South End story is what it reveals about gentrification generally, old or new, diverse or not." -- Los Angeles Review of Books "A powerful contribution to the rising tide of scholarship on global gentrification. It will make you think twice the next time you hear a neighbourhood celebrated as 'vibrant'." --Thomas Meaney, Times Literary Supplement " Good Neighbors powerfully demonstrates how gentrifiers often fixate on the old (homes) and the marginally political (greenmarkets) so that they do not have to think about the displacement involved in neighborhood change and their own role in it." -- Public Books "A penetrating analysis of the social practices and cultural strategies that turn slum neighborhoods into safe spaces for the rising elite. It's an ethnography of Boston, but it sheds light on urban dynamics throughout the world." --Eric Klinenberg, author of Going Solo and Heat Wave "A work of creativity and imagination that goes beyond the well-known gentrification arguments that have proliferated of late. A sure winner." --Michele Lamont, Director of the Weatherhead Center for International Studies, Harvard University "A fascinating analysis of exclusion, lack of self-awareness and conflicting values." -- Next City "Because of the quality of the ethnographic enquiry and the relevance of the issues raised, this approach to gentrification allows Tissot to go beyond simplistic accounts of the sociological transformations of a neighborhood." -- Nonfiction.fr "The rich material gathered during in-depth field enquiries and the invaluable archives collected from the inhabitants will win the skeptics over. A significant contribution to the debate surrounding progressive upper class culture." -- La Vie des Idées "An original contribution to the [gentrification] debate. Tissot is a master in the art of sailing in the murky waters of 'progressive' discourses, and she does so without a pinch of salt." -- L'Humanité " Good Neighbors is a solid and fruitful contribution to current debates around urban and social coexistence." -- Le Mouvement Social

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
