Modeled on the ethnic distinctions that divide the community, the book portrays the old guard of East Harlem: Pete, one of the last Italian holdouts; José, a Puerto Rican; and Lucille, an African American. Side by side with these representatives of a century of ethnic succession are the newcomers: Maria, an undocumented Mexican; Mohamed, a West African entrepreneur; Si Zhi, a Chinese immigrant and landlord; and, finally, the author himself, a reluctant beneficiary of urban renewal. Russell Leigh Sharman deftly weaves these oral histories together with fine-grained ethnographic observations and urban history to examine the ways that immigration, housing, ethnic change, gentrification, race, class, and gender have affected the neighborhood over time. Providing unique access to the nuances of inner-city life, The Tenants of East Harlem shows how roots sink so quickly in a community that has always hosted the transient, how new immigrants are challenging the claims of the old, and how that cycle is threatened as never before by the specter of gentrification. 606 $aSociology, Urban$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aUrban anthropology$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aEthnicity$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aCommunity development, Urban$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aGentrification$zNew York (State)$zNew York 607 $aEast Harlem (New York, N.Y.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aEast Harlem (New York, N.Y.)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aEast Harlem (New York, N.Y.)$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSociology, Urban 615 0$aUrban anthropology 615 0$aEthnicity 615 0$aCommunity development, Urban 615 0$aGentrification 676 $a305.8/009747/1 700 $aSharman$b Russell Leigh$f1972-$01050500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457573603321 996 $aThe tenants of East Harlem$92480321 997 $aUNINA
