evamadera1's review against another edition
4.5
I received this book as an ALC on Libro and picked it up to get in another read at the end of the month. I loved this book, especially the timing of when I read it since I just taught gentrification the day I picked this book up. Kern tackles several "lies" people have told and also believe about gentrification and disproves them with copious evidence. The one negative for me was the narrator's constant inclusion of "end note #" but I appreciated it because this showed Kern's dedication to research and supporting her argument with evidence. I also appreciate both that she acknowledges her privilege as a white woman and how this has affected her as well as ends the book with concrete actions to take to dispute these lies.
