Pattillo positions 2 ideas in this text: 1) that class differences b/w black newcomers and old timers in a community complicate the project of racial solidarity due to concepts of respectability and how they structure space in terms thing like the presence of public housing vs mixed income housing and what is 'appropriate' land use as well as power and leverage in term of negotiation with other stakeholders in the case of North Kenwood-Oakland.
