Ghosts of Atlanta is a deep meditation on cultural gentrification and a challenge to the image of Atlanta as the 'Black Mecca, ' with the Atlanta Beltline project as a central focus. Rhana Gittens Wheeler brings the insights of Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, W. E. B. Dubois, Clyde Woods, and others to bear on the whitening of Atlanta and the highly racialized project that is the Beltline. Ghosts of Atlanta is relevant far beyond the city itself. It is an important book for anyone concerned with urban development in America and with the devaluation and disrespect of Black spaces more generally.--Dan Immergluck, professor of urban studies, Georgia State University
