Hyra\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor long-time residents of Washington, DC's Shaw\/U Street, the neighborhood has become almost unrecognizable in recent years. Where the city's most infamous open-air drug market once stood, a farmers' market now sells grass-fed beef and homemade duck egg ravioli. On the corner where AM.PM carryout used to dish out soul food, a new establishment markets its $28 foie gras burger. Shaw is experiencing a dramatic transformation, from \"ghetto\" to \"gilded ghetto,\" where white newcomers are rehabbing homes, developing dog parks, and paving the way for a third wave coffee shop on nearly every block. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eRace, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City\u003c\/i\u003e is an in-depth ethnography of this gilded ghetto. Derek S. Hyra captures here a quickly gentrifying space in which long-time black residents are joined, and variously displaced, by an influx of young, white, relatively wealthy, and\/or gay professionals who, in part as a result of global economic forces and the recent development of central business districts, have returned to the cities earlier generations fled decades ago. As a result, America is witnessing the emergence of what Hyra calls \"cappuccino cities.\" A cappuccino has essentially the same ingredients as a cup of coffee with milk, but is considered upscale, and is double the price. In Hyra's cappuccino city, the black inner-city neighborhood undergoes enormous transformations and becomes racially \"lighter\" and more expensive by the year.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDerek S.
