The Gentrification of the Mind: Witness to a Lost Imagination by Sarah Schulman

5.0

What a remarkable book! Schulman introduces paradigms for queerness, community, and change-making that I know I’ll be referencing for years to come, and did so while firmly grounding her work in stories and anecdotes. Her expansion of what exactly gentrification can mean creates a framework for so much broader social analysis. As a queer transplant to New York, and as a member of ACT UP, this book gave me so much more than I could have expected.
