Changing Harlem
Posted by Kristian Buschmann on September 08, 2008 |
Nice collection of stories in this New York Times article about the gentrification of Harlem, with perspectives ranging from happy integration to fear Harlem losing its character. I particularly like the viewpoint of one resident who takes the confrontational attitude of his neighbors as an invitation to talk about the issue: instead of getting angry back, he asks "what are you angry about?" I think we could all learn more about gentrification if we took this approach.
