On conceptual hegemony and blanqueamiento vis-a-vis Latin urbanism in London
The commentary focuses on two arguments addressed in the article which resonates with my research about Latin America's urban margins and Latin urbanisms in London. It will first address gentrification's conceptual hegemony and its adoption in other regions of the world where neither its translation nor conceptual understanding suffice or allow for broader nuances of the processes embedded in urban change. It will then discuss the use of blanquea…
The Permanence of Temporary Urbanism
The Making of Caribbean Not-so-Natural Disasters
Hurricanes are not a novelty in the Caribbean. However, 2017 left several shocking facts for history books regarding intensity and frequency. Two Category 4 and two Category 5 hurricanes – the strongest category on the Saffir-Simpson scale – hit the Caribbean in a month's-time. Despite the label ‘natural disaster’, colonialism and human-induced factors are behind the high levels of inequality, climate change and incomplete recoveries in the Carib…

Latin Elephant is a London-based charity that works with migrant and ethnic groups in processes of urban change, and which has had a critical role in articulating the voices of traders threatened by displacement in the context of the Elephant and Castle redevelopment plans over the last decade. In this Lexicon Conversation, members of Latin Elephant discuss with RHJ the different ways in which language, vocabularies, solidarity, memory and transl…

In this report we consider the role that research, community activism and protest have to play in our search …

Belonging and detachment
The Making of Latin London
An examination of how Latin American people and cultural practices have moved from between continents, exploring how Latin Americans experience this process and what part different people play in re-making Latin identities in the neighbourhoods, parks, bars and dance clubs of London
The embodiment of salsa
I have attempted to contribute to debates about the body and music through a discussion of how the performance of salsa constructs a particular sense of Latin identity through the bodies of musicians. The embodiment of salsa is proposed as a way of theorising about how body and music are articulated to communicate a particular Latin cultural identity. In considering the relationship between body and music, I have stressed the cultural constructio…
