Making Rent in Bed-Stuy explores the history and sociocultural importance of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn's largest historically black community, through the lens of a coming-of-age young American negro artist living at the dawn of an era in which urban class warfare is politely referred to as gentrification. Bookended by accounts of two different breakups, from a roommate and a lover, both who come from the white American elite, the book oscillates between chapters of urban bildungsroman and a historical examination of some of Bed-Stuy's most salient aesthetic and political legacies. Filled with personal stories and a vibrant cast of iconoclastic characters-- friends and acquaintances such as Spike Lee; Lena Dunham; and Paul MacCleod, who made a living charging $5 for a tour of his extensive Elvis collection--Making Rent in Bed-Stuy poignantly captures what happens when youthful idealism clashes head-on with adult reality. Melding in-depth reportage and personal narrative that investigates the disappointments and ironies of the Obama era, the book describes Brandon Harris's radicalization, and the things he lost, and gained, along the way." -- Publisher's description 600 10 $a Harris, Brandon. 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Biography. 650 0 $a Generation Y $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a Bedford-Stuyvesant (New York, N.Y.) $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Bedford-Stuyvesant (New York, N.Y.) $x Economic conditions $y 21st century. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Urban. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020324.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006105721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3653BA4FDB011E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
