What are some books exploring deindustrialization, the decline of cities due to it, poverty and immigrants partially replacing the slowly dying out local working class population (something I'm actually thankful about due this preventing my mining home town from becoming an even greater dump than it alreadys is) in either english or my native german?

Also, please don't turn this thread into another /pol/ thread about immigration.

You know that the main drivers of deindustrialization were rather automation/mechanization and outsourcing?

Yes.

It's the fiction-essay type and not completely about deindustrialization, but Monteiro Lobato wrote many short stories (he translated to English too) about coffee towns in Brazil after the end of the coffee cycle. It was a giant economic shift with the same weight of what you want turning important places into ghost towns.

The absolute state of NRW cucks.

I had to read On the Line by Vanesa Ribas for a sociology class this semester. It's an ethnography on slaughterhouses in the South with latino/a immigrant workers. It was okay. We also read Methland, which looks into the meth epidemic in the American Midwest and the effects of deindustrialization on those towns. That was a good read.

Because it is that horrible to see your city partially repopulated by steadily assimilating Turks, Yugoslavians, Poles and Russians, instead of letting it develop into a depopulated wasteland full of empty decaying buildings?

Yes? Besides, you left out kurdish and arab clans running the streets.

We can't try to turn it around, you keep importing people to feed the urban sprawl and (gay) service economy.

I'm a yugo. Honestly 90% of balkanites are animals and they "integrate" in a very relative sense; compared to third world immigrants we are golden, but that is by no means a compliment. Ask any austrian how he feels about serbs in vienna. I can't comprehend your fetishism for importing foreigners to replace you.
