Transbordering Latin Americas: Liminal Places, Cultures, and Powers (T)Here: Routledge Research in Transnationalism

Editat de Clara Irazábal
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 oct 2013
This book examines transborder Latin American sociocultural and spatial conditions across the globe and at different scales, from gendered and racialized individuals to national and transnational organizations. Gathering scholars from the "spatial sciences"—architecture, urban design, urban planning, and geography—as well as sociology, anthropology, history, and economics, the volume explores these transbordering practices of place making and community building across cultural and nation-state borders, examining different agents (individuals, ethnic and cultural groups, NGOs, government agencies) that are engaged in transnational/transborder living and city-making practices, reconceiving notions of state, identity, and citizenship and showing how subjected populations resist, adapt, or coproduce transnational/transborder projects and, in the process, help shape and are shaped as transborder subjects.

Recenzii

"An exceptional volume that brings new voices in architecture, urban planning and urbanism to take account of the transbordered dynamics of place-making apace across the Americas while anchoring culture squarely in the middle of the 'spatial sciences.'"
- Arlene Dávila, author of Culture Works: Space, Value, and Mobility Across the Neoliberal Americas
"Transbordering Latin Americas is truly impressive as it redefines the geography of Latin America. From Japan to Spain, from Iowa to Cusco, the authors in this collection do us a great service in documenting how land, space, and the city are being remade and retheorized across Latin Americas. Must reading for students in both urban studies and Latin American studies."
- Laura Pulido, Professor, American Studies & Ethnicity, University of Southern California

Descriere

This book examines transborder Latin American socio-cultural and spatial conditions across the globe and at different scales, from gendered and racialized individuals to national and transnational organizations. It explores these multicultural practices of place-making and community-building across cultural and nation-state borders, examining different agents that are engaged in transnational/transborder living and city-making practices, reconceiving notions of state, identity, and citizenship, and showing how subjected populations resist, adapt, or co-produce transnational/transborder projects and, in the process, help shape and are shaped as transnational/transborder subjects.
