As one of South America's larger capital cities, Lima, Peru, is
remarkably understudied as a demographic and economic entity unto
itself. In this important book, Henry Dietz presents an in-depth
historical, sociological, and political analysis of a major Latin
American city in the post-World War II period. Dietz examines
electoral data for Lima's districts from six censuses conducted
between 1940 and 2007, framed against a backdrop of extensive
demographic data for the city, to trace the impact of economic
collapse and extended insurgency on Lima and its voters.
Urbanization in Lima since World War II has at times been rapid,
violent, and traumatic, and has resulted in marked social
inequalities. Dietz looks at how equity across the city has not in
general improved; Lima is today segregated both spatially and
socially. Dietz asks if and how a high degree of segregation
manifests itself politically as well as socially and spatially. Do
urban dwellers living under profound and enduring social
segregation consistently support different parties and candidates?
As institutional political parties have faded since the 1990s and
have been replaced by personalist movements, candidacies, and
governments, Dietz explores how voters of different social classes
behave. The result is a vital resource for researchers seeking
well-contextualized information on elections and economics in Peru.
This book will be of interest to scholars of politics or economics,
especially in Latin America, but also to a much wider audience
interested in how the developments in Lima, Peru, affect the global
sociopolitical climate.
