Table of ContentsReviewsJohn Arena has written an important book on an important topic. New Orleans stands out because of the travesty associated with Hurricane Katrina; however, Driven from New Orleans tells a much deeper and broader story that could be replicated in many cities. Arena provides a sorely needed account of neoliberal reorganization of American cities with the active support of nominal advocates and representatives of the impoverished populations who are displaced as part of that reorganization. It is a signal contribution to the study of black urban politics, the political economy of urban redevelopment, and the concrete dynamics of urban neoliberalism. Adolph Reed, Jr., University of Pennsylvania Driven from New Orleans is an exciting and important book. It provides compelling ethnographic detail on a highly visible and poignant example of the role of race in the neoliberal remaking of American cities. --Edward Goetz, author of Clearing the Way: Deconcentrating the Poor in Urban America <br> """John Arena has written an important book on an important topic.
