"Rebuilding Shattered Worlds explores the ways a demolished neighborhood in Easton,
Pennsylvania, still resonates in the imaginations of displaced residents. Drawing
on six years of ethnographic research, the authors highlight the intersecting languages
of blight, race, and place as elderly interlocutors attempt to make sense of the world
they lost when urban renewal initiatives razed "Syrian Town"--A densely packed neighborhood
of Lebanese American, Italian American, and African American residents. This ethnography
of remembering shows how former residents engage collective memory-making through
their shared place, language, and class position within the larger cityscape. Demonstrating
the creative power of linguistic resources, material traces, and absent spaces, Rebuilding
Shattered Worlds brings together insights from linguistic anthropology and material
studies, foregrounding the role language plays in signaling "pastness."" ; "An ethnography
of the ways displaced residents remember the ethnic diversity of their neighborhood
in a small city in eastern Pennsylvania destroyed in the name of urban renewal, where
memories, linguistic patterns, and material artifacts continue to animate people's
everyday lives"
