justice issues affecting minority populations in Austin: Long, for example, avoids analysis of gentrification on Austin’s east side, the historically African American and Latino neighborhoods, even though displacement has been acute there for a decade: he focuses instead on middle-class gentrification in predominantly white contemporary South Austin. Much of Long's other scholarship on Austin is heavily focused on social and environmental justice issues in the neighborhoods referenced by Busch. Overall, Weird City has experienced a very positive reception. In 2010 the book was nominated for the National Council on Public History Book Award. Interviews and reviews Dunbar, Wells.
