‘This Handbook undertakes such a critical and authoritative
assessment of the emergent field having an important dialogue
between existing theories and new conceptualizations of
gentrification.’
*Saraswati Raju, Regional Science Policy and Practice*
‘This excellent, wide-ranging and comprehensive Handbook deals with
comparative gentrification theory, key concepts in gentrification,
different types and dimensions of gentrification and resistance to
gentrification. It includes a wide range of authors and looks at
gentrification in a variety of global contexts. All in all, a
valuable addition to the literature.’
*Chris Hamnett, King's College London, UK and UESTC, Chengdu,
China*
‘The Handbook truly is a useful resource for urban scholars and
students as it offers well-written entries by established urban
scholars and several promising new researchers on various subjects
within gentrification research. As such, it provides a wealth of
knowledge on the processes and modalities of gentrification, as
well as new research agendas on a variety of topics.’
*Wouter van Gent, International Journal of Housing Policy*
‘This volume draws on an impressive cast of contributors and
embraces a dizzying array of interrelated topics.’
*Dennis E. Gale, Journal of Urban Affairs*
‘This Handbook of Gentrification Studies will be useful for
graduates studying anthropology of cities, urbanism, geography, and
new urban identities. There is no more complete Handbook on
gentrification in the English language to date.’
*Yves Laberge, Electronic Green Journal*
‘The world’s leading analyst of gentrification convenes an
extraordinary team of contributors to map the evolving contours of
planetary gentrification. This Handbook is your essential guide to
the cosmopolitan cultures of capital that are intensifying the
competitive nature of life everywhere on an urbanizing planet —
from big cities to small agricultural villages, from the
postindustrial consumption landscapes of the Global North to the
hybrid hyper-modernities of the Global South and East.’
*Elvin Wyly, The University of British Columbia, Canada*
‘The Handbook of Gentrification Studies is useful and informative.
It is a good starting point for encountering the variety of debates
on the topic of gentrification and its current vexations. It
demonstrates clearly the need to think in flexible, cosmopolitan
and comparative ways about gentrification, and consider seriously
the complicated potential offered by communal resistance to
gentrification.’
*Helen Traill, LSE Review of Books*
