Housing and Belonging in Latin America - CEDLA Latin America Studies

The intricacies of living in contemporary Latin American cities include cases of both empowerment and restriction. This volume captures the paradoxical histories and experiences of urban life in Latin America, offering new empirical and theoretical insights to scholars.


Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; The intricacies of living in contemporary Latin American cities include cases of both empowerment and restriction. In Lima, residents built their own homes and formed community organisations, while in Rio de Janeiro inhabitants of the favelas needed to be 'pacified' in anticipation of international sporting events. Aspirations to 'get ahead in life' abound in the region, but so do multiple limitations to realising the dream of upward mobility. This volume captures the paradoxical histories and experiences of urban life in Latin America, offering new empirical and theoretical insights to scholars.
