ASA member Japonica Brown-Saracino @jbrownsaracino.bsky.social @bostonu.bsky.social traces how the concept of gentrification has evolved to express widespread ambivalence about economic inequality and unease with various forms of social change. @princetonupress.bsky.social

My (belated) thanks to Andrew Burmon for engaging in a fun and thoughtful conversation about The Death and Life of Gentrification for the Upper Middle. www.uppermiddle.news/p/upper-midd...

Now available worldwide, @jbrownsaracino.bsky.social's The Death and Life of Gentrification is a provocative account of what is gained and what is lost when a word that once narrowly referred to neighborhood change takes on a life all its own. Learn more: press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Many thanks to Jeffrey Parker, Sarah Mayorga, Yuki Kato, and Derek Hyra for their insightful engagement with The Death and Life of Gentrification at the Eastern Sociological Society Conference. It was an honor and a treat to have each of them reflect on the book.

Last month, the BU Initiative on Cities organized a discussion of the Death and Life of Gentrification. My thanks to them for the event, as well as for this great summary. I also thank Karilyn Crockett, Stephanie Ternullo, and Lawrence Vale for engaging with the book. www.bu.edu/ioc/2026/02/...
