    Katherine Hankins, Katherine B Hankins et al.ARTICLESocial & Cultural Geography2012Cited by: 24References: 20

    The comfortable relationship between the overwhelmingly white, southern Atlanta neighborhood of Buckhead and a major hub of nightlife in the region unraveled in the early 2000s as the entire nightclub cluster was delegitimized, discursively constructed as dangerous and out of control, and ultimately razed to make space for luxury shopping. This paper sets out to query what social and cultural relations account for this massive and unpredicted rec…

Some feature of the world is seen or heard in sharper light-a horse's injured leg, white bandage incandescent against the dark forelock; a few bars of music from a second story window, a sound so plangent as to seem at first an animal cry; a stuffed wolverine, snarli…
