Abstract

When No One Is Watching karya Alyssa Cole menggambarkan gentrifikasi di Brooklyn melalui perspektif karakter ras Afrika-Amerika, Sydney. Novel ini dengan jelas menggambarkan perpindahan, kesenjangan ekonomi, dan penghapusan budaya. Demikian, penelitian ini mencermati penggambaran dan dampaknya yang paling banyak dialami oleh kelompok marginal, terutama pada masyarakat Afrika-Amerika dan berpenghasilan rendah. Pendekatan sosiologi sastra dan kritik gentrifikasi dan sastra diterapkan untuk menganalisis latar belakang sosial yang digunakan dalam novel, yang memperluas analisis gentrifikasi, masyarakat, dan representasi perkotaan dalam studi sastra. Situasi Brooklyn digunakan untuk menganalisis gentrifikasi sebagai penggambaran latar yang digunakan dalam karya sastra. Selanjutnya, kelas sosial, perumahan, dan ras digunakan untuk menyelidiki dampak fenomena gentrifikasi. Hasil penelitian ini mengungkap penggambaran gentrifikasi Brooklyn dalam novel Alyssa Cole, When No One Is Watching sebagai representasi urban selama pembaruan lingkungan. Menunjukkan dampak yang dahsyat pada komunitas Afrika-Amerika sebagai komunitas yang tersingkir selama proses gentrifikasi. Transformasi bangunan Brownstone, perbedaan kelas sosial, ketimpangan perumahan, dan segregasi rasial semuanya berkontribusi pada diskriminasi sistemik yang dihadapi oleh komunitas yang terpinggirkan. Peneliti selanjutnya disarankan untuk menganalisis When No One Is Watching dengan mengamati peran Supremasi Kulit Putih sebagai pendorong sistem gentrifikasi seperti yang tergambar dalam proses gentrifikasi Brooklyn dalam karya sastra untuk melengkapi penelititan ini.
