Clara IrazAbal and her contributors explore the urban history of
some of Latin Americaa (TM)s great cities through studies of their
public spaces and what has taken place there. The avenues and
plazas of Mexico City, Havana, Santo Domingo, Caracas, BogotaAŹ,
SaAžo Paulo, Lima, Santiago, and Buenos Aires have been the
backdrop for extraordinary, history-making events. While some argue
that public spaces are a prerequisite for the expression,
representation and reinforcement of democracy, they can equally be
used in the pursuit of totalitarianism. Indeed, public spaces, in
both the past and present, have been the site for the contestation
by ordinary people of various stances on democracy and citizenship.
By exploring the use and meaning of public spaces in Latin American
cities, this book sheds light on contemporary definitions of
citizenship and democracy in the Americas.
