For instance, a decade of gentrification and government austerity in Portugal has pushed minority communities into slums like the outer-Lisbon neighborhood of Jamaica, where hundreds of people of African descent are packed into unfinished, unsafe buildings a few miles from shiny towers where investors buy up apartments.
