{"product_id":"9780226825779","title":"A Good Reputation : How Residents Fight for an American Barrio","description":"\u003cp\u003eA historic Houston barrio provides an illuminating lens on neighborhood reputation.\n\u003cbr\u003e  \n\u003cbr\u003e Neighborhoods have the power to form significant parts of our worlds and identities. A neighborhood's reputation, however, doesn't always match up to how residents see themselves or wish to be seen. The distance between residents' desires and their environment can profoundly shape neighborhood life.  \n\u003cbr\u003e  \n\u003cbr\u003e In A Good Reputation, sociologists Elizabeth Korver-Glenn and Sarah Mayorga delve into the development and transformation of the reputation of Northside, a predominantly Latinx barrio in Houston. Drawing on two years of ethnographic research and in-depth interviews with residents, developers, and other neighborhood stakeholders, the authors show that people's perceptions of their neighborhoods are essential to understanding urban inequality and poverty. Korver-Glenn and Mayorga's empirically detailed account of disputes over neighborhood reputation helps readers understand the complexity of high-poverty urban neighborhoods, demonstrating that gentrification is a more complicated and irregular process than existing accounts of urban inequality would suggest. Offering insightful theoretical analysis and compelling narrative threads from understudied communities, A Good Reputation will yield insights for scholars of race and ethnicity, urban planning, and beyond.\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45376846200911,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":4025.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9780226825779-1.jpg?v=1780185238","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/ja\/products\/9780226825779","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
