Title
Driven From New Orleans: How Nonprofits Betray Public Housing And Promote Privatization,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In the early 1980s the tenant leaders of the New Orleans St. Thomas public housing development and their activist allies were militant, uncompromising defenders of the citys public housing communities. Yet ten years later these same leaders became actively involved in a planning effort to privatize and downsize their communityan effort that would drastically reduce the number of affordable apartments. What happened? John Arenaa longtime community and labor activist in New Orleansexplores this drastic change in Driven from New Orleans, exposing the social disaster visited on the citys black urban poor long before the natural disaster of Katrina magnified their plight.Arena argues that the key to understanding New Orleanss public housing transformation from public to private is the cooptation of grassroots activists into a government and foundationfunded nonprofit complex. He shows how the nonprofit model created new political allegiances and financial benefits for activists, moving them into a strategy of insider negotiations that put the profitmaking agenda of real estate interests above the material needs of black public housing residents. In their turn, white developers and the citys black political elite embraced this newfound political realism because it legitimized the regressive policies of removing poor people and massively downsizing public housing, all in the guise of creating a new racially integrated, mixedincome community.In tracing how this shift occurred, Driven from New Orleans reveals the true nature, and the true cost, of reforms promoted by an alliance of a neoliberal government, nonprofits, community activists, and powerful real estate interests.
