The Black Mass by Georgia O’Keeffe is the most familiar painting to me that reflects a New Mexico landscape. I find the color composition to be varied and interesting. The sandy tones give off a Southwestern United states feel in my opinion that works well with the sky and the mountains in the background.

Frederick Douglass’s “What the Black Man Wants” captures the need for change in post Civil War America. The document presses the importance for change, with the mindset of the black man being, ‘if not now then never’. Parallel to this document is the letter of Jourdon Anderson, writing to his old master. Similar to Douglas, Mr. Anderson speaks of the same change and establishes his worth as freed man to his previous slave owner. These writings both teach and remind us about the evils of slavery and the continued need for equality, change, and reform.

Hooks distinguishes the importance of “taking back” for the oppressed and the dominated to recover oneself. I felt the writing of Bell Hook in “Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black” is an audacious act by underlining the problem of woman and reveal Hooks path of rediscovery. Hooks writing “Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black” is an audacious act that underlines the problem of woman.

The concept of gentrification was first introduced by Ruth Glass in 1964 to describe an urban phenomenon of upgrading of old property but also displacing the existing population, mostly lower class urban citizens. During this process of urban evolution, an upward transformation of the socio-economic structure of the neighborhood occurs (Ruth, 1964; Smith, 1979). Since the first introduction of the phenomenon in 1964, the concept of gentrification in research has become more dynamic and complex. In addition, many scholars and social scientists have provided their view on gentrification and written about the complexity of the phenomenon, as well as the frequent occurrence of gentrification in many cities all over the world. Since the first introduction of the term “gentrification,” the phenomenon has become a source of debate among scholars and policy makers, particularly in the Global North – US and Europe (Atkinson, 2003, 2004; Cox, 1993; Davidson, 2007).
