Ghosts of Atlanta: Cultural Gentrification of the Black Mecca
Rhana Gittens Wheeler
Once heralded as the ""Black Mecca of the South,"" Atlanta’s Black community is now under threat of dislocation by gentrification. Amid the city’s urban renaissance, residents face rising costs, and the loss of a collective identity and belonging. This book examines the fading echoes of African American memory and historical narratives in Atlanta.
