Description:An acclaimed history of Harlem’s journey from urban crisis to urban renaissanceWith its gleaming shopping centers and refurbished row houses, today’s Harlem bears little resemblance to the neighborhood of the midcentury urban crisis. Brian Goldstein traces Harlem’s Second Renaissance to a surprising the radical social movements of the 1960s that resisted city officials and fought to give Harlemites control of their own destiny.

In the succeeding decades, however, the community-based organizations they founded came to pursue a very different a neighborhood with national retailers and increasingly affluent residents. The Roots of Urban Renaissance demonstrates that gentrification was not imposed on an unwitting community by unscrupulous developers or opportunistic outsiders.
