Displacement, (De)segregation, and Dispossession

Displacement, (De)segregation, and Dispossession Synopsis

Rebecca Alexander draws from the lived experiences of the young residents of Glenwood, a historically Black suburb, and Parkside, the historically White, wealthy community just across the freeway. Focusing on an anonymised location in California during the sub-prime crisis, she explores issues of segregation and gentrification in US schools and communities, while looking at how youth and families work to produce, contest, question, resist, and engage racialized space in and beyond schools.
