"""Sharma clearly explains to readers how economic and racially-motivated policies and decisions have disrupted the ways in which American cities operate. In tying gentrification to stories of displacement and belonging, we are presented with considerable information about the links between economics, design, health, and community. This book is a must read."" - Sumbul Siddiqui, Mayor of Cambridge, MA ""The Diaspora of Belonging uses gentrification as a lens to look at city cultures, economics, colonialism, racism, and identity. But it is also a celebration of people, possibility and cities, reminding us that ultimately, we must make the places we live more just and sustainable for all."" - Julian Agyeman, Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University ""Jay offers a dynamic voice on how racism and discrimination work in physical spaces through urban planning and gentrification. The Diaspora of Belonging explains why we need to make our cities more equitable and inviting for everyone."" - Arnobio Morelix, Author of The Great Reboot"
