  • Descrição: According to the 2020 census, Detroit lost 10.5 percent of its total population in a decade, with the Black population declining by 15.9 percent and the white population increasing by 9.3 percent. In Detroit, anything is possible for new white "pioneers," and instead of using a flag to cement one's settlement, they have venture capital backing.3 Settler capitalists understand a future Detroit, totally reimagined, not just through neoliberal policies - such as the takeover of the Detroit Public Schools in 1999 and the undemocratic implementation of an Emergency Financial Manager ten years later-but also, we might say, through neoliberal settler narratives. The language in a 2013 article in the Wall Street Journal aptly illustrates how the mainstream media portrays Detroit, as a "frontier" with emerging "colonies" of "pioneers": Not far outside of Detroit's downtown business district is the emergent hipster colony of Corktown, where do-it-yourself, brew-your-own-beer types are fixing up cheap, rundown houses. Sixty-six thousand vacant lots and seventy-eight thousand abandoned or blighted buildings, including the old Packard factory, occupy 130 unbroken square miles of no man's land.
