The Structures of Trauma and Inequality: A Case Study of Durham North Carolina’s Housing Market
Abstract
In this interdisciplinary paper, I explore the structures of trauma and inequality
as well as the mechanisms that provide the framework for power accumulation and preservation.
I apply this understanding of how this framework functions to the local housing market
in Durham, North Carolina. Through a critical examination of historic patterns of
housing inequalities, an analysis of contemporary policy and primary documents, interviews
with key stakeholders, and the use of demographic data, I pose the question of whether
or not the parallels between structures of trauma and structures of inequality are
currently reproduced in Durham’s housing market.
