The Invention of Brownstone Brooklyn: Gentrification and the Search for Authenticity in Postwar New York
Osman, Suleiman (Assistant Professor of American Studies, Assistant Professor of American Studies, George Washington University, Washington, DC)
An original and captivating history of gentrification, this book challenges the conventional wisdom that New York City began a comeback in the 1990s, locating the roots of Brooklyn's revival in the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. Osman examines the emergence of a progressive coalition as young, well-educated brownstoners joined with poorer residents to battle city planners and local machine politicians. Deftly mixing architectural, cultural, and politicalhistory, this book offers an eye-opening perspective on the post-industrial city.
