Description
This subtle study of a storied urban neighborhood reveals the way that upper-middle-class newcomers have positioned themselves as champions of diversity, and how their mobilization around this key concept has reordered class divisions rather than abolished them.
Advance Praise
“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
