Cet ouvrage entend contribuer au renouveau théorique de l’étude des médinas au Maroc, en rendant compte de l’étendue et de la nature d’un phénomène à peine envisageable au début des années quatre-vingt-dix. Les auteurs abordent, en effet, les mutations en cours dans les médinas à partir de la perspective de la gentrification, c'est-à-dire du phénomène de réinvestissement de quartiers anciens, souvent fort détériorés, par des nouveaux résidents aisés, qui y impulsent des dynamiques rénovatrices. S’appuyant sur des enquêtes de terrain dans plusieurs villes marocaines, les études présentées s’intéressent aux profils et aux motivations de ces nouveaux habitants, à leurs interactions avec les anciens habitants, au rôle de l’Etat, aux rapports entre gentrification, tourisme, patrimonialisation et cosmopolitisme. Tout en soulignant les dynamiques convergentes et les caractéristiques que les médinas marocaines partagent avec le modèle « classique » de la gentrification, elles pointent également les spécificités locales, y compris entre les différentes médinas. L’ensemble de ces études et des entretiens avec des personnalités impliquées dans la sauvegarde du patrimoine fournit une première perspective synthétique sur ce phénomène.

Questions the way we understand the idea of community through an investigation of the term "historically black "In Historically Black, Mieka Brand Polanco examines the concept of community in the United States: how communities are experienced and understood, the complex relationship between human beings and their social and physical landscapes—and how the term “community” is sometimes conjured to feign a cohesiveness that may not actually exist. Drawing on ethnographic and historical materials from Union, Virginia, Historically Black offers a nuanced and sensitive portrait of a federally recognized Historic District under the category “Ethnic Heritage—Black.”Since Union has been home to a racially mixed population since at least the late 19th century, calling it “historically black” poses some curious existential questions to the black residents who currently live there. Union’s identity as a “historically black community” encourages a perception of the town as a monochromatic and monohistoric landscape, effectively erasing both old-timer white residents and newcomer black residents while allowing newer white residents to take on a proud role as preservers of history.Gestures to “community” gloss an oversimplified perspective of race, history and space that conceals much of the richness (and contention) of lived reality in Union, as well as in the larger United States. They allow Americans to avoid important conversations about the complex and unfolding nature by which groups of people and social/physical landscapes are conceptualized as a single unified whole. This multi-layered, multi-textured ethnography explores a key concept, inviting public conversation about the dynamic ways in which race, space, and history inform our experiences and understanding of community.

L’idée qu’on se fait généralement de Quito, capitale de l’Équateur se réfère à une ville hispano-américaine de haute montagne, dont le patrimoine urbain est exceptionnel : rien de plus. Or ce patrimoine est aussi le centre d’une métropole actuelle. Sa bourgeoisie l’a délaissé pour les nouveaux quartiers qui se sont construits au nord de la ville moderne. Seules, désormais, les petites gens y ont leur demeure. Ils en sont par nécessité les nouveaux conquérants. La lecture et l’analyse de la cité ancienne présentée ici mettent en évidence la force de cette transformation et la manière dont ces nouveaux occupants y vivent et s’en approprient l’usage. Le Quito hispanique fondé en 1534 n’est vraiment entré dans la modernité qu’au début du XXe siècle. Son ouverture au reste du monde se concrétisa fortement à partir de 1908 avec l’arrivée du chemin de fer. Le Centre Historique actuel, constitué de la ville des années 1900, a changé de résidants, d’usagers et de chalands. Cet ouvrage se propose de le considérer précisément, afin de déterminer s’il s’agit d’un ensemble de quartiers obsolètes, condamnés à échéance prévisible à changer de fonction, voire à être mis entre parenthèses comme une enclave historique définitivement muséifiée ; ou bien s’il constitue un élément significatif de la réalité quiténienne contemporaine. Cette question préoccupe les responsables de la gestion spatiale et sociale de la capitale équatorienne, surtout depuis que cette portion de la ville a été inscrite à l’inventaire du patrimoine mondial, sous l’égide de l’Unesco, en 1978. Karine Peyronnie et René de Maximy, qui ont longuement séjourné à Quito, ont observé les populations dans leurs travaux et leurs jours, rencontré les gestionnaires, arpenté inlassablement les rues, les ruelles et les places, interrogé des centaines de citadins.
