Staying Put, Feeling Displaced: Grief and Shame Under Gentrification
While gentrification research increasingly acknowledges displacement beyond physical dislocation, less is known about how such processes mediate – and are mediated by – the emotional lives of residents who remain in place. Drawing on 25 interviews with longtime residents of Eilandje, a former working‐class harbour district in Antwerp (Belgium) that has undergone extensive new‐build gentrification, this article examines how displacement shapes and…
When inclusion excludes: Challenging social mixing as a solution to educational inequality through the lens of gentrification
Social mixing or desegregation is frequently presented as a means to reduce inequalities affecting minoritized and low-income communities not only in neighborhoods but also in schools.

Using interview data, we argue that socia…

The present article addresses the question of whether these two phenomena are related and how changing notions of the welfare state shape and are shaped by this relationship. To answer the question, we concentrate our attention on the case study of Ghent (Belgium), which from the 1970s onwards has been cha…
