Description
Gentrification Down the Shore explores the complex history and ongoing challenges faced by Asbury Park, New Jersey. Founded in 1871 as a resort community, the city has undergone significant transformations over the years, from civil unrest in the 1970s to its current status as a popular tourist destination. Through an intersectional lens, sociologists Molly Vollman Makris and Mary Gatta examine the connection between jobs, seasonal gentrification, and the experiences of long-time residents. They shed light on the racial inequality present in the city's founding and its ongoing impact, as well as the role of developers, LGBTQ+ populations, and barriers to employment and access to amenities. This nuanced investigation provides a rich understanding of the post-industrial city and its inhabitants, offering valuable insights into the history of race relations and the challenges faced by those living on the margins.
