Abstract
ABSTRACT While urban inequalities are well studied and understood by scholars, less is known about how these inequalities are localized within a neighborhood context, especially among young adults of color who are most susceptible to the effects of these inequalities. In this paper, we argue that in order to better understand the political development of young adults by race and ethnicity, more attention should be given to how local neighborhoods frame experiences of divestment and racial inequality in a city. Drawing from a large-scale, interview-based study with 160 young adults, we find that neighborhood context is a critically important space for understanding how young people of color are politicized as they transition into adulthood. We argue that neighborhoods are mini publics within a broader city that both exacerbate urban and racial inequalities and yet also serve as spaces for political development and innovation among young adults.
