Along with its positive impact, New Urban Arts, under his leadership, became entangled in Providence's urban renewal efforts that harmed the very youth it served. As in many deindustrialized cities, Providence's leaders viewed arts, culture, and creativity as a means to drive property development and attract young, educated, and affluent white people, such as Denmead, to economically and culturally kick-start the city. In \u003ci\u003eThe Creative Underclass\u003c\/i\u003e, Denmead critically examines how New Urban Arts and similar organizations can become enmeshed in circumstances where young people, including himself, become visible once the city can leverage their creativity to benefit economic revitalization and gentrification. He points to the creative cultural practices that young people of color from low-income communities use to resist their subjectification as members of an underclass, which, along with redistributive economic policies, can be deployed as an effective means with which to both oppose gentrification and better serve the youth who have become emblematic of urban creativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tyler Denmead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478006596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTyler Denmead is University Lecturer of Arts and Creativity in Education at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow at Queens' College.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45254332973171,"sku":"9781478006596","price":46.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_d7e6c8d6-62e9-4211-a2e4-0da31bd0b536.jpg?v=1784202693","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-creative-underclass-youth-race-and-the-gentrifying-city-9781478006596","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
