Gentrifier

In "Gentrifier," Anne Elizabeth Moore humorously and thoughtfully explores the complexities of property ownership as a white woman in a predominantly Black city and Bangladeshi neighborhood in Detroit. After being gifted a house by an arts organization, she navigates her new life in "Banglatown," forming connections with her community while confronting the lingering effects of the housing crisis and systemic corruption. Blending memoir with sharp social commentary, Moore reflects on art, gender, and survival, ultimately questioning the links between capitalism, whiteness, and community resilience.
