The Other "Real World": Gentrification and the Social Construction of Place in Chicago.
Perez, Gina M.
Urban Anthropology and Studies of Cultural Systems and World Economic Development, v31 n1 p37-68 Spr 2002
Explores competing constructions and understandings of the gentrifying neighborhoods on Chicago's near northwest side, noting how Puerto Rican youth are implicated in these changes. Explores contradictory images of neighborhoods, residents' responses to these changes, and various linguistic attempts to refashion new ethno-racial designations in the name of neighborhood development and revitalization.
