""A cutting-edge intervention in contemporary discourse. Wood comprehensively reconstructs the history of Black Atlanta in the post-civil rights era from a class analysis in the Black radical tradition.""--Akinyele Omowale Umoja, author of We Will Shoot Back: Armed Resistance in the Mississippi Freedom Movement ""A model study of gentrification 'from below.' Augustus Wood shows how Black and white elites engineered the displacement of historic working-class African American neighborhoods and disrupted their grassroots social justice movements.""--Joe William Trotter Jr., author of From Enslavement to COVID-19: A History of African American Health and Labor ""Sound, unapologetic, and provocative. Class Warfare in Black Atlanta is a game-changing treatment of gentrification in Atlanta.""--Winston A. Grady-Willis, author of Challenging U.S. Apartheid: Atlanta and Black Struggles for Human Rights, 1960-1977
