Bringing together a multidisciplinary team of scholars, this book
explores the importance of ethnicity and cultural economy in the
post-Fordist city in the Americas. It argues that cultural,
political and economic elites make use of cultural and ethnic
elements in city planning and architecture in order to construct a
unique image of a particular city and demonstrates how the use of
ethnicized cultural production - such as urban branding based on
local identities - by the economic elite raises issues of
considerable concern in terms of local identities, as it deploys a
practical logic of capital exchange that can overcome forms of
cultural resistance and strengthen the hegemonic colonization of
everyday life. At the same time, it shows how ethnic communities
are able to use ethnic labelling of cultural production, ethnic
economy or ethno-tourism facilities in order to change living
conditions and to empower its members in ways previously
impossible. Of wide ranging interest across academic disciplines,
this book will be a useful contribution to Inter-American studies.
