English
In a 1987 videotape, the poet Diane Burns, whose parents were Chemehuevi and Anishinabe, delivers a withering rebuke to settler colonialist landscapes as she strolls through desolate stretches of the Lower East Side while reciting her Alphabet City Serenade, drawing parallels between Manifest Destiny and urban gentrification.
