Miguel Montalva Barba, an author focused on race and urban sociology, takes listeners on a journey through his research in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. He discusses how even in a liberal district, systemic racism endures, revealing the complex dynamics of gentrification and displacement. The term 'genocesicide' is introduced to describe the violent loss experienced by communities facing urban renewal. His exploration of race, place, and settler colonialism sheds light on the historical narratives that continue to shape modern neighborhoods.
