I thought this paper was a fascinating read on the colonial ignorance and euro-centrism found in not only Liberal theories of Gentrification, but Marxist Geography as well. This paper seeks to expose the gap between Marxist Geography and struggles against gentrification from the perspective of Indigenous communities while using a Toronto neighborhood as a case study. I'll try to post some good blurbs out of this but I read and post it on the go so I'll have to come back.
While approaching from the perspective of dissecting Gentrification, this paper ends up attacking the heart of Settler Colonialism through criticizing the Bourgeois/Settler production of space.
The Thesis:
The explanation of the bourgeois/settler subject (of the settler city context):
Settler workers are collaborators in the production of bourgeois/settler space based on the system of value and property relations and partake in this process to advance their own economic interests, from as little as having a paycheck to as much as raising the value of their home (exchange or use) or having equity in the returns on that production of space (in the form of Colonialism or Gentrification). The bourgeois/settler targets spaces they consider rundown and empty (despite being occupied by their Other) and seeks to model them into their ideal image of a "good neighborhood", "good town", "good city", which is really just the bourgeois spaces of Europe.
