Description
Jeremiah Moss's Vanishing New York is a searing critique of gentrification in 21st-century America. A former blogger and cultural commentator, Moss has emerged as one of the most outspoken critics of this dramatic shift.
The city that was once an exceptional, iconoclastic metropolis is being transformed into a suburbanized luxury zone, with beloved neighborhoods and treasured unofficial landmarks disappearing under the pressure of modern gentrification. In prose that is both hard-hitting and poetic, Moss takes us on a tour of the most changed parts of town, lovingly eulogizing iconic institutions as they're replaced.
This book is a staggering examination of contemporary urban renewal and its repercussions - not only for New Yorkers, but for all of America and the world. With his cantankerous style, Moss leads us on a journey that is both a love letter to lost New York and a call to action against the forces driving this transformation.
