Transbordering Latin Americas : Liminal Places, Cultures, and Powers (T)Here

This book examines transborder Latin American socio-cultural and spatial conditions across the globe and at different scales, from gendered and racialized individuals to national and transnational organizations. It explores these multicultural practices of place-making and community-building across cultural and nation-state borders, examining different agents that are engaged in transnational/transborder living and city-making practices, reconceiving notions of state, identity, and citizenship, and showing how subjected populations resist, adapt, or co-produce transnational/transborder projects and, in the process, help shape and are shaped as transnational/transborder subjects.

This book examines transborder Latin American sociocultural and spatial conditions across the globe and at different scales, from gendered and racialized individuals to national and transnational organizations. Gathering scholars from the "spatial sciences"—architecture, urban design, urban planning, and geography—as well as sociology, anthropology, history, and economics, the volume explores these transbordering practices of place making and community building across cultural and nation-state borders, examining different agents (individuals, ethnic and cultural groups, NGOs, government agencies) that are engaged in transnational/transborder living and city-making practices, reconceiving notions of state, identity, and citizenship and showing how subjected populations resist, adapt, or coproduce transnational/transborder projects and, in the process, help shape and are shaped as transborder subjects.
