Latin American urban studies have reached a critical juncture. Depending on one's point of view, the current state of the art presages either important conceptual breakthroughs or a methodological and theoretical conundrum of crisis proportions. There seems to be a growing feeling among researchers that the field has vegetated for the past several years without producing many new insights into urban phenomena. Meanwhile, data keep piling up and faith in the research paradigms of the 1960s continues to erode. To be sure, there are some new approaches on the horizon, but they exist primarily in the form of proposals and programmatic statements rather than substantive contributions. Taken together, the five books under review are fairly representative of current work in Latin American urban research, showing both its strengths and its weaknesses
