This book presents oral history and ethnographic data on current and former, African American residents of D.C. Prince’s new book, African Americans and Gentrification in Washington, D.C., sheds light on social hierarchies and standpoints unfolding over time and emerges as a portrait of a heterogeneous African American population wherein members define their identity and culture as a people informed with the knowledge of injustice’s impact on the urban landscape. Prince discusses her work on the phenomenon of urban gentrification in Washington DC and Harlem, NY and the lives of African Americans who confront and construct this process of restructuring. ![]() Sabiyha Prince, a cultural anthropologist and independent scholar who resides in the Baltimore/Washington metro area.
