Title:	DYNAMIC NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITIES: GENTRIFICATION AND CONSUMPTION UPON NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITY POLITICS
Author:	Crangle, Sara Colfax
Description:	Andersonville is a gentrifying neighborhood in Chicago, exemplified by rising property values. Today, Andersonville is often described as a lesbian neighborhood. Yet, it became clear during field research that lesbian identities in Andersonville were part of a more complex politics of neighborhood identity from which sexual identities could not be isolated without losing their important context. The research expanded to address the larger and more porous issues of community politics, encompassing broader cultural identities beyond lesbian, in circulation around the challenges of neighborhood gentrification. The research examined the cultural economies of community identity as expressed through, and in reaction to, the practices of gentrification and consumption. The findings suggest that lesbian space cannot be easily 'read off' the landscape but may be submerged in material cultural practices and politics that build upon different sexual identities, among others.
