About this Event

Sociologists Elizabeth Korver-Glenn and Sarah Mayorga will be in conversation with Kinder Institute Director Ruth N. López Turley about their book, "A Good Reputation: How Residents Fight for an American Barrio."


About "A Good Reputation"

Korver-Glenn and Mayorga delve into the development and transformation of the reputation of Houston's Northside neighborhood. Drawing on two years of ethnographic research and in-depth interviews with residents, developers, and other neighborhood stakeholders, the authors show that people’s perceptions of their neighborhoods are essential to understanding urban inequality and poverty, The book discusses the complexity of high-poverty urban neighborhoods, demonstrating that gentrification is a more complicated and irregular process than existing accounts of urban inequality would suggest.
