ReviewsFocusing on historical segregation both residentially and in the labor market, Makris and Gatta's rich qualitative work and presentation of intersectionality in Gentrification Down the Shore sheds light on the experiences of living in Asbury Park from the perspective of people who have been there long ago, during the music heyday, and more recently during its revitalization., Makris and Gatta present an informative and compelling portrait of a storied city undergoing its latest transformation even as long-committed businesses and residents struggle to find a place within it. Gentrification Down the Shore deserves a place on the reading lists of cultural historians, gentrification scholars, and above all fans of Asbury Park., [A] groundbreaking ethnography... Gentrification Down the Shore is an important book that sheds light on the impact of gentrification on African Americans living in Asbury Park, New Jersey, as the first such text on the subject., From Venice, California, to the Rockaway Peninsula, beach towns like Asbury Park are changing from funky, diverse communities to pricey, sanitized tourist zones of hipster cool. Gentrification Down the Shore documents the tragic consequences of this kind of redevelopment, which bypasses longtime residents in favor of seasonal visitors and deprives them of access to nature, culture, and civic life., Focusing on historical segregation both residentially and in the labor market, Makris and Gatta's rich qualitative work and presentation of intersectionality in Gentrification Down the Shore sheds light on the experiences of living in Asbury Park from the perspective of people who were there long ago during the music heyday, and more recently during its revitalization.

SynopsisMakris and Gatta engage in a rich ethnographic investigation of Asbury Park to better understand the connection between jobs and seasonal gentrification and the experiences of longtime residents in this beach-community city. They demonstrate how the racial inequality in the founding of Asbury Park is reverberating a century later. This book tells an important and nuanced tale of gentrification using an intersectional lens to examine the history of race relations, the too often overlooked history of the postindustrial city, the role of the LGBTQ population, barriers to employment and access to amenities, and the role of developers as the city rapidly changes. Makris and Gatta draw on in-depth interviews, focus groups, ethnographic observation, as well as data analysis to tell the reader a story of life on the West Side of Asbury Park as the East Side prospers and to point to a potential path forward., Gentrification in cities in the United States is a hot topic, but this book contributes something new to the ongoing discussion by offering a rich case study of seasonal gentrification and its effects on long time residents. Summer days in Asbury once again mean tourists strolling the boardwalk and dining by the Atlantic Ocean. But just across the railroad tracks from the seasonal crowds, many of Asbury's long-time residents live below the poverty line and struggle for their share of this prosperity throughout all four seasons of the year.
