Sommario/riassunto

Krase and DeSena offer a comprehensive view from the street of two iconic Brooklyn neighborhoods, Crown Heights-Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and Greenpoint-Williamsburg. They analyze the neighborhoods' precipitous decline and subsequent spectacular rise, looking closely at the winners and losers of these new-style ecological "invasions" and "successions" or neoliberal transformations by paying special attention to the ethnic, racial, and class characteristics of old and new residents.
