Along with its positive impact, New Urban Arts, under his leadership, became entangled in Providence's urban renewal efforts that harmed the very youth it served. As in many deindustrialized cities, Providence's leaders viewed arts, culture, and creativity as a means to drive property development and attract young, educated, and affluent white people, such as Denmead, to economically and culturally kick-start the city. In The Creative Underclass, Denmead critically examines how New Urban Arts and similar organizations can become enmeshed in circumstances where young people, including himself, become visible once the city can leverage their creativity to benefit economic revitalization and gentrification. He points to the creative cultural practices that young people of color from low-income communities use to resist their subjectification as members of an underclass, which, along with redistributive economic policies, can be deployed as an effective means with which to both oppose gentrification and better serve the youth who have become emblematic of urban creativity. 606 $aSocial Science / Ethnic Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Sociology / Urban$2bisacsh 606 $aArt / Business Aspects$2bisacsh 606 $aArts 615 7$aSocial Science / Ethnic Studies 615 7$aSocial Science / Sociology / Urban 615 7$aArt / Business Aspects 615 0$aArts 700 $aDenmead$b Tyler$01271526 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910633941403321 996 $aThe Creative Underclass$92995280 997 $aUNINA
