    Grocery Stores: Neighborhood Retail or Urban Panacea? Exploring the Intersections of Federal Policy, Community Health, and Revitalization in Bayview Hunters Point and West Oakland, California By Renee Roy Elias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jason Corburn, Chair Professor Karen Chapple Professor Malo Hutson Professor Margaret Weir Fall 2013 Abstract Grocery Stores: Neighborhood Retail or Urban Panacea? Exploring the Intersections of Federal Policy, Community Health, and Revitalization in Bayview Hunters Point and West Oakland, California By Renee Roy Elias Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Jason Corburn, Chair Throughout the nation, grocery retailers are reentering underserved communities amidst growing public awareness of food deserts and the rise of federal, state, and local programs incentivizing urban grocery stores. And yet, even with expanding research on food deserts and their public health impacts, there is still a lack of consensus on whether grocery stores truly offer the best solution. Furthermore, scholars and policymakers alike have limited understandings of the broader neighborhood implications of grocery stores newly introduced into underserved urban communities. This dissertation analyzes how local organizations and agencies pursue grocery development in order to understand the conditions for success implementation. To do this, I examine the historical drivers, planning processes, and outcomes of two extreme cases of urban grocery development: a Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market (a chain value store) in San Francisco’s Bayview Hunters Point and the Mandela Foods Cooperative (a worker-owned cooperative) in Oakland’s West Oakland districts.

  • Black & Blue: Policing Disability & Poverty Beyond Occupy
    Black & Blue: Policing Disability & Poverty Beyond Occupy 21 Leroy F. Moore Jr., Tiny aka Lisa Gray-Garcia, and Emmitt H. Thrower Abstract In this chapter three artists/activists of color with disabilities write about their lives, activism & cultural work around police brutality against poor people & people with disabilities before, during and beyond the occupy “movement.” You will read the popular response after police brutality cases against people with disabilities and how this response has been repeated over and over again. The three authors will share their answers toward this issue and talk about the need for increasing cultural work from poetry to Hip-Hop to visual arts by not only disabled community but also from the artists arena. Lisa ‘Tiny’ Gray Garcia, Emmitt Thrower and Leroy Franklin Moore Jr. have come together to serve up another vision on the drastic real growth of police brutality against people with disabilities and poor people.
