Analyzing the simultaneous gentrification and Latinization of what is known as El Barrio or Spanish Harlem, Barrio Dreams makes a compelling case that-despite neoliberalism's race-and ethnicity-free tenets-dreams of economic empowerment are never devoid of distinct racial and ethnic considerations. Dávila scrutinizes dramatic shifts in housing, the growth of charter schools, and the enactment of Empowerment Zone legislation that promises upward mobility and empowerment while shutting out many longtime residents. Foregrounding privatization and consumption, she offers an innovative look at the marketing of Latino space. She emphasizes class among Latinos while touching on black-Latino and Mexican-Puerto Rican relations. Providing a unique multifaceted view of the place of Latinos in the changing urban landscape, Barrio Dreams is one of the most nuanced and original examinations of the complex social and economic forces shaping our cities today. 606 $aGentrification$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aPuerto Ricans$xHousing$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aLatin Americans$xHousing$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aLatin Americans$xHousing$zUnited States 606 $aHousing policy$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aEnterprise zones$zNew York (State)$zNew York 607 $aEast Harlem (New York, N.Y.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aEast Harlem (New York, N.Y.)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aEast Harlem (New York, N.Y.)$xPolitics and government 615 0$aGentrification 615 0$aPuerto Ricans$xHousing 615 0$aLatin Americans$xHousing 615 0$aLatin Americans$xHousing 615 0$aHousing policy 615 0$aEnterprise zones 676 $a307.341609747 700 $aDavila$b Arlene M.$f1965-$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826746303321 996 $aBarrio dreams$93942820 997 $aUNINA
