{"product_id":"detroit-never-left-9781479826810","title":"Detroit Never Left","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA new perspective on the relationship between race and space in Detroit\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetroit seemed to experience an explosive rebirth following its bankruptcy, the largest in US municipal history. It was as if the slate had been wiped clean and the color line erased in the nation’s largest Black city. \u003ci\u003eDetroit Never Left \u003c\/i\u003eexplains the relation between racism and space by analyzing the ways opportunities changed in the years leading up to and following bankruptcy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on a variety of data, including in-depth interviews with people who identify as “Latina\/o\/x” in their early 20s, ethnographic observation, and media coverage, Nicole E. Trujillo-Pagán shows how a dialectic between empty and concrete abstractions created new opportunities for outside investment, often at the expense of residents' fortunes. She reveals space is much more than a neutral backdrop; It is continually produced through abstractions that act like bordering and crossing practices to control resources and opportunities. With broad implications for analyses of space and opportunity, \u003ci\u003eDetroit Never Left \u003c\/i\u003etackles important contradictions in the post-bankruptcy city. For example, urban youth do not want to be moved out or isolated in their \u003ci\u003ebarrio\u003c\/i\u003e. Similarly, many Detroiters feel spatial changes happen “to,” instead of “for” them. Ultimately, residents’ concerns underscored broader tensions between democratic inclusion and racialized capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicole E.
