Gentrification is Inevitable and Other Lies
Kern, Leslie
What does gentrification look like? Can we even agree that it is a process that replaces one community with another? It is a question of class? Or of economic opportunity? Who does it affect the most? Is there any way to combat it?
Leslie Kern, author of the best selling Feminist
City, travels from Toronto, New York, London, Paris and San Francisco
and scrutinises the myth and lies that surround this most urgent urban
crisis of our times. First observed in 1950s London, and theorised by
leading thinkers such as Ruth Glass, Jane Jacobs and Sharon Zukin, this
devastating process of displacement now can be found in every city and
most neighbourhoods. Beyond the Yoga studio, farmer’s market and tattoo
parlour, gentrification is more than a metaphor, but impacts the most
vulnerable communities.
Kern proposes an intersectional way at
looking at the crisis that seek to reveal the violence based on class,
race, gender and sexuality. She argues that gentrification is not
natural That it can not be understood in economics terms, or by class.
That it is not a question of taste.
That it can only be measured
only by the physical displacement of certain people. Rather, she
argues, it is an continuation of the setter colonial project that
removed natives from their land. And it can be seen today is rising
rents and evictions, transformed retail areas, increased policing and
broken communities.
But if gentrification is not inevitable,
what can we do to stop the tide? In response, Kern proposes a genuinely
decolonial, feminist, queer, anti-gentrification. One that demands the
right to the city for everyone and the return of land and reparations
for those who have been displaced.
