"Ahh - Help! I lost this book with perhaps two chapters to go!!! If you happen to see it please contact me!
Alright - problem solved. I picked up a copy at the library so I could read the last 12 pages. Good, typical Davis production where he utilizes the most provocative examples of statistics and stories of abuse to discuss the numerous issues of post-NAFTA hispanic growth in the United States. He focuses generally on the major US cities and, as his some base, more specifically within the Los Angeles/ San Diego region. It's an engaging read and very timely in regard to the 2000 Census."
"Classic Mike Davis. A broad look at how Latinos are mistreated despite their enormous contribution to North American cities. My favorite part of the book was chapter 6, which dealt directly with urban planning and design issues. I love the "tropicalizing" trope - Davis' way of describing how Latinos revivify boring urban spaces. I also want to remember his critique of planning practices that make it illegal for people to modify their homes, either with a fresh coat of lively paint, or by adding a granny flat. These restraints on Latino urbanism are ironic, particularly in view of the myraid mini malls in "Taco Bell Moderne.""
