Abstract Barrios: The Crises of Latinx Visibility in Cities
In Abstract Barrios Johana Londoño examines how Latinized urban landscapes are made palatable for white Americans. Such Latinized urban landscapes, she observes, especially appear when whites feel threatened by concentrations of Latinx populations, commonly known as barrios. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and visual analysis of barrio built environments, Londoño shows how over the past 70 years urban planners, architects, designers, po…
Reimagining US Colombianidades: Transnational subjectivities, cultural expressions, and political contestations
Border Spaces: Visualizing the U.S.-Mexico Frontera
At a time when overpowering talk of “illegal” and “criminal” immigrants defines the geography dividing the United States and Mexico as an unsafe, violent space, Border Spaces reminds us that there is a lot about the border we do not know.

More specifically, the chapters highlight how essential …

This article explores the work of the designer Pablo Medina to expand this scholarship but also to understand how designers negotiate cultural expression with the socioeconomic particularities of places across the hem…

This article considers an emerging shift in Latino cultural politics of design representation and urbanism. To illustrate this shift, I include interviews with designers whose imaginative and geographic locations across the Americas have fostered a global attitude that challenges previous Latino designs that follow nationalist cultural politics of differentiation and are shaped by neoliberal multicultural imperatives. This article serves as an an…
