Good Neighbors: Gentrifying Diversity in Boston's South End

Good Neighbors provides a critical reflection on the effects of gentrification on a neighborhood's diversity through a case study on Boston's historically working-class neighborhood, South End. While many of the upper-middle class residents who more recently have claimed the neighborhood as home champion themselves as embracing diversity this text challenges us instead to attend to how geographic and economic factors such as increased police presence, and increased property values, rather than allowing for a truly diverse, multi-cultural, and multi-racial neighborhood may in fact reorder, and reconfigure, class stratification rather than abolish it.
