La ciudad latinoamericana
Adrián Gorelik’s book is about the intellectual construction of the ‘Latin American City.’ The process of rapid urbanization, demographic growth, massive rural-to-urban migration, social change, an
Modernity for the Masses
Ana María León's book explores the connections between modernist architecture, totalitarian nation-state projects, and “dreams” for modernity through mass housing in Buenos Aires between the 1930s and the late 1950s. More specifically, it is about the trajectory of modernist Catalan architect Antonio Bonet (1913–89) in Buenos Aires. Formed and trained in Europe with José Luis Sert and Le Corbusier (among others) and imbued in surrealist art, Bone…

Urbanismo Miliciano in Rio de Janeiro
Japanese-American confinement and scientific democracy
During World War II, the U.S. Indian Service conducted social science experiments regarding governance among Japanese Americans imprisoned at the Poston, Arizona, camp. Researchers used an array of techniques culled from anthropological culture and personality studies, psychiatry, psychology, medicine, and public opinion research to probe how the personality traits of the confined Japanese-Americans and camp leaders affected the social interactio…
Housing and Belonging in Latin America
The main contribution of this book is to offer different disciplinary approaches and methodologies that illuminate and critique the fundamental contradictions of urban housing, experience, and citizenship in Latin America. The essays address the issue of belonging, place formation, and identity, predominantly from the perspectives of sociology, human geography, anthropology, architecture, and urban studies. The case studies put experience, subjec…
The Alliance for Progress and housing policy in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires in the 1960s

These housing developments were possible thanks to the arrival of foreign economic and technical assistance from the Alliance for Progress. Urban scholars, politicians, diplomats and urbanists of the Americas sought to promote middle-class habits, mass consumption and moderate political beh…
