Book Synopsis
Two of the most celebrated black neighborhoods in the United States - Harlem in New York City and Bronzeville in Chicago - were once plagued by crime, drugs, and abject poverty. But now both have transformed. This work explores the factors - local, national, and global - driving the remarkable revitalization of these two iconic black communities.

Trade Review
"This crisply written elucidation of the forces behind the revitalization of Bronzeville and Harlem is an original and important addition to our understanding of urban politics and black-led gentrification. In particular, Hyra's detailed analysis of the contrasting political styles of Chicago and New York City is unique and insightful. A pleasure to read." - Lance Freeman, author of There Goes the Hood: Views of Gentrification from the Ground Up"
