What can local histories of interracial conflict and collaboration teach us about the potential for urban equity and social justice? This study chronicles the politics of gentrification and culture-based development in Chattanooga, by tracing the roots of racism, segregation, and mainstream “cosmopolitanism†to the earliest encounters between the Cherokee, African Americans, and white settlers.
