Gentrifizierung lässt sich nicht aufhalten und andere Lügen
Gentrifizierung - was genau ist das eigentlich? Irgendwas mit Verdrängung in der Stadt? Und können wir etwas dagegen tun?Essayistisch und kurzweilig geschrieben vermittelt Leslie Kern einen umfassenden Überblick zu den Debatten über Gentrifizierung seit den 1950er Jahren: was umfasst sie, wer profitiert von ihr und wer wird durch sie verdrängt? Wir begleiten die Autorin auf ihren Reisen nach Toronto, New York, London und Paris, wo sie den Mythen und Lügen der neuen Krise der Städte auf den Grund geht und dabei deutlich macht, dass die gewaltvolle Verdrängung eng mit Klassismus, Rassismus und Sexismus verbunden und eine Fortsetzung des kolonialen Projekts ist.Doch: Steigende Mieten, Zwangsräumungen, zunehmende Polizeipräsenz und zerfallende Communitys sind nicht unumgänglich und Widerstand lohnt sich. Kern tritt für eine dekoloniale, feministische und queere Praxis der Anti-Gentrifizierung ein, die neben dem Recht auf Stadt für alle auch die Rückgabe von Land und Entschädigungen für Vertriebene fordert.

Gentrification Is Inevitable and Other Lies
What does gentrification look like? Can we even agree that it is a process that replaces one community with another? It is a question of class? Or of economic opportunity? Who does it affect the most? Is there any way to combat it? Leslie Kern, author of the best selling Feminist City, travels from Toronto, New York, London, Paris and San Francisco and scrutinises the myth and lies that surround this most urgent urban crisis of our times.First observed in 1950s London, and theorised by leading thinkers such as Ruth Glass, Jane Jacobs and Sharon Zukin, this devastating process of displacement now can be found in every city and most neighbourhoods. Beyond the Yoga studio, farmer's market and tattoo parlour, gentrification is more than a metaphor, but impacts the most vulnerable communities. Kern proposes an intersectional way at looking at the crisis that seek to reveal the violence based on class, race, gender and sexuality. She argues that gentrification is not natural That it can not be understood in economics terms, or by class. That it is not a question of taste. That it can only be measured only by the physical displacement of certain people. Rather, she argues, it is an continuation of the setter colonial project that removed natives from their land. And it can be seen today is rising rents and evictions, transformed retail areas, increased policing and broken communities. But if gentrification is not inevitable, what can we do to stop the tide? In response, Kern proposes a genuinely decolonial, feminist, queer, anti-gentrification. One that demands the right to the city for everyone and the return of land and reparations for those who have been displaced.

Feminist City
Die Stadt ist ein ständiger Schauplatz des Kampfes zwischen den Geschlechtern. Feministische Fragen nach Sicherheit und Angst, bezahlter und unbezahlter Arbeit, Rechten und Repräsentation demontieren das, was wir für selbstverständlich halten und über Städte und Freiräume zu wissen glauben. Doch vielleicht liegt in der Stadt ja auch unsere beste Chance, neue soziale Beziehungen zu gestalten, die auf Fürsorge und Gerechtigkeit basieren?Um gemeinsam gerechtere, nachhaltigere und solidarischere Städte zu schaffen, müssen die Barrieren, die Frauen unterdrücken (sollen), überwunden, muss städtischer Raum beansprucht werden. Mit »Feminist City« kartiert Leslie Kern die Stadt aus neuen Blickwinkeln. Sie schreibt über die Freuden und Gefahren des Alleinseins, widmet sich Themen wie Angst, Mutterschaft, Freundschaft und Aktivismus. Sie entwirft einen feministischen, intersektionalen Ansatz, mit dem Städte historisch neu betrachtet werden können und der uns die Augen öffnet für Wege in eine lebenswerte urbane Zukunft.
