This book unveils the political economy of land squatting in a
third world city, Montevideo, in Uruguay. It focuses on the effects
of democratization on the mobilization of the poorest as well as on
the role played by different types of brokers, from radical
Catholic priests to local leaders embedded in political networks.
Through a multi-method endeavour that combines ethnography,
historical sources, and quantitative time series, the author
reconstructs the history of the informal city since the late 1940s
to the present. From a social movements/contentious politics
perspective, the book challenges the assumption that socioeconomic
factors such as poverty were the only causes triggering land
squatting.
