South of Market is a photographic portrait of a San Francisco neighbourhood in the throes of urban renewal."" [It] is not a romantic representation of San Francisco"s past, but rather a testament to a vanished community made up of blue-collar workers, small business owners, families with children, artists, and gay men. The work is especially relevant today, as a new wave of gentrification brought on by the second internet boom is again driving less affluent residents out of San Francisco. "As I continue to photograph in San Francisco and in urban areas around the world," says Delaney, "I see that who plays and who pays remains, as it always was, the central issue." The photographs are accompanied by interviews which offer personal responses to the impact of gentrification on twelve of Delaney"s neighbours. An essay by Erin O"Toole sets the context for this story by providing a history of this constantly evolving San Francisco neighbourhood.--Publisher"s website. ISBN: 9781907946387
