The Obama Administration’s Place-Based Initiatives: Why Not Include Small Business Lending Components
The Obama administration has orchestrated a cadre of pilot, comprehensive community-style, initiatives known collectively as the Ladders of Opportunity/Promise Zones. These Ladder of Opportunity in
Metropolitan Segregation and the Subprime Lending Crisis
Unsustainable high-cost lending was a major contributor to one of the worst financial crises in U.S. history. While several studies examine individual- and community-level predictors of high-cost lending, little research has tested for the possible causal effect of racial segregation. Using two-stage least squares statistical models, we find evidence that even after controlling for percentage minority, poverty, unemployment, low credit scores, ho…
Home Foreclosures and Community Crime: Causal or Spurious Association
Objective Aggregate crime rates continue to decline in the United States despite the depth and breadth of the current foreclosure crisis. This trend calls into question conventional wisdom and prior research that suggest a causal, positive relationship between foreclosures and crime. The objective of this article is to consider an alternative argument, that foreclosures and crime are part‐and‐parcel of the same community‐level dynamics, and thus …
Conceptualizing the New Urban Renewal: Comparing the Past to the Present
In the 1990s and 2000s, inner city neighborhood redevelopment occurred throughout the United States as billions in public and private investments entered impoverished black communities. This revitalization process led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of African-Americans. Based on this circumstance, some scholars suggest that this circumstance was a return to the past urban renewal period (1949-1974). While there have been many case s…
The New Urban Renewal: The Economic Transformation of Harlem and Bronzeville
Derek S. Hyra's The New Urban Renewal is a valuable interpretation of the current transformation of two iconic black communities. Rather than using his field research to advance one of the classic paradigms of urban community change, Hyra, a University of Chicago-trained social scientist, carefully weaves together an account of multiple forces to explain the emerging “second renaissance” of Harlem and Bronzeville. The global economy and massive f…
City Politics and Black Protest: The Economic Transformation of Harlem and Bronzeville
Can metropolitan political systems affect the level of Black-led protest politics? While researchers stress the importance of individual-level socio-economic status, others contend that a city's political landscape is an influential force in determining political engagement.Using a comparative ethnographic approach, this study explores how the distinct political situations in New York City (NYC) and Chicago relate to the proliferation of protest …
