Drawing on six years of ethnographic research, the authors highlight the intersecting languages of blight, race, and place as elderly interlocutors attempt to make sense of the world they lost when urban renewal initiatives razed "Syrian Town"--a densely packed neighborhood of Lebanese American, Italian American, and African American residents. This ethnography of remembering shows how former residents engage collective memory-making through their shared place, language, and class position within the larger cityscape. Demonstrating the creative power of linguistic resources, material traces, and absent spaces, Rebuilding Shattered Worlds brings together insights from linguistic anthropology and material studies, foregrounding the role language plays in signaling "pastness.""--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aAnthropology of Contemporary North America 606 $aAnthropological linguistics$zPennsylvania$zEaston (Northampton County) 606 $aCollective memory$zPennsylvania$zEaston (Northampton County) 607 $aEaston (Northampton County, Pa.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aEaston (Northampton County, Pa.)$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnthropological linguistics 615 0$aCollective memory 676 $a305.800974822 700 $aSmith$b Andrea L.$0507790 702 $aEisenstein$b Anna 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465770003321 996 $aRebuilding shattered worlds$92219796 997 $aUNINA
