Emporia and the Exclusion Identity
Defending Gentrification as a Valid Collective Conception
A long-standing problem in gentrification research is the increasingly diverse array of interests and agendas in the renewal of the inner city; their diversity has frustrated many scholars with respect to the collective characterization and comprehension of the phenomenon. Consequently, others have questioned the validity of the term “gentrification” itself. This article contends that gentrification is a phenomenon that merits being collectively …
Gentrification as the appropriation of therapeutic ‘diversity’
Scholarship on urban renewal readily recognises the conversion of ‘cultural diversity’ from a progressive ethic that once addressed ethnic/racial marginalisation into a trope that services early-stage gentrifiers. Through successive rearticulations of cultural diversity as a middle-class lifestyle amenity by various actors, this paper presents a model and case study of gentrification as an incremental act of cultural displacement of racial/ethnic…

School Leaders' Discursive Constructions of Low-Income and Minority Families Identities
Informed by Foucault's analytics of power, this critical discourse analysis focuses upon the discursive construction of minority and low-income family identities, primarily using text from interviews of Texas school leaders within the neoliberal context of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Qualitative content analysis was used to discover whether the discourses of school leaders, through their construction of minority and low-income family identities,…
Nativism and the Obsolescence of Grand Narrative
Fundamental to the neoliberal era has been the systemic obsolescence of grand narratives of group and national exceptionality. This paper contends that the demise of grand narratives has proved particularly detrimental to anti-immigration groups in the developed Western economies. The obsolescence of metanarratives has made it difficult for anti-immigration organisations to enlist the virtue of national exceptionalism due to their increasing inab…
Democratic materialism
Acknowledging the historical and readily overlooked raison d’être of formal democracy is critical in the contemporary era of democratization. Despite a popular fixation on democracy’s civic virtues, the most powerful democracies have been historically linked to the institution of empire due to the fundamental acquisitive underpinnings that they both share. Given its elemental function as guarantor of individual possession for the common citizenry…
Access to Higher Education
This case study researches the degree to which the location and services offered by a multicampus university, geographically situated consistent with the commercial principles of a large mass-market enterprise, facilitate access for educationally underserved groups. First, the necessity of democratizing educational access to an underprivileged population is contrasted against real estate market forces that regularly influence the positioning of s…

Multicultural Consumerism and Racial Hierarchy
Geography, Race, and Class
San Antonio is the core of Mexican-American culture in Texas and economically underdeveloped south Texas. In the 1960s, the city was recognized as an underserved population with respect to public higher education. The result was the creation of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). This article is a case study revealing the role of geography in aggravating race and class inequities among university students. It is shown that the spatial …
Democratizing' Consumerism
Charges of sexism and the destruction of nature in the social construction of the built environment are not new. But the notion has been sporadically forwarded that the consumer landscape represents a democratizing environment within the traditional social hierarchy premised on class, gender, and ethnicity/race. The consumer landscape is presumed to accomplish this by allowing the individual consumer the freedom to construct self-identity through…
Historical Preservation and Identity
Historical preservation often reveals more about contemporary culture than about history. The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, is just such a case. No other large US city is so dominated by a single historical event, and the Alamo plays a central role as a cultural icon for regional Anglo identity, a symbol of the Anglo‐dominated social hierarchy. Its preservation and restoration have coincided with modern identity formation contextualized by commodi…
