What is a path toward wealth creation, quality of life, and happiness in low-status communities, whether in the inner city, in Rust Belt towns, Native American reservations, or other "marginalized" places? There is an alternative to programs that simply ameliorate poverty without building wealth or counteracting the effects of displacement and cultural erasure through gentrification. What Majora Carter proposes in this inspiring and eye-opening book is a talent retention community development strategy. Low-status communities have never had a shortage of successful people emerging from them. What they have had is a shortage of successful people staying. Carter focuses on retaining homegrown talent to create a robust, economically diverse ecosystem. She advocates helping property owners resist selling to speculators assembling available resources to build local businesses creating vibrant third spaces where personal and professional connections can grow and much more Throughout the book, Carter shares key lessons from her personal and professional journey. The result is a powerful, heartfelt rethinking of poverty, inequality, economic development, and individual and family success"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Community development $z United States. 650 0 $a Ability $z United States. 941 $a 4 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025333.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024157.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024410.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220414010146.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26E6A1E4BBB811EC8D59041432ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
