"Draws a direct line between redlining, incarceration, and gentrification in an American
city. This book shows how a century of redlining, disinvestment, and the War on Drugs
wreaked devastation on Black people and paved the way for gentrification in Washington,
DC. In Before Gentrification, Tanya Maria Golash-Boza tracks the cycles of state abandonment
and punishment that have shaped the city, revealing how policies and policing work
to displace and decimate the Black middle class. Through the stories of those who
have lost their homes and livelihoods, Golash-Boza explores how DC came to be the
nation's "Murder Capital" and incarceration capital, and why it is now a haven for
wealthy White people. This troubling history makes clear that the choice to use prisons
and policing to solve problems faced by Black communities in the twentieth century-instead
of investing in schools, community centers, social services, health care, and violence
prevention-is what made gentrification possible in the twenty-first. Before Gentrification
unveils a pattern of anti-Blackness and racial capitalism in DC that has implications
for all US cities"
