What makes the city of the future? How do you heal a divided city? In Radical Cities, Justin McGuirk travels across Latin America in search of the activist architects, maverick politicians and alternative communities already answering these questions. From Brazil to Venezuela, and from Mexico to Argentina, McGuirk discovers the people and ideas shaping the way cities are evolving. Ever since the mid twentieth century, when the dream of modernist utopia went to Latin America to die, the continent has been a testing ground for exciting new conceptions of the city. An architect in Chile has designed a form of social housing where only half of the house is built, allowing the owners to adapt the rest; Medellín, formerly the world’s murder capital, has been transformed with innovative public architecture; squatters in Caracas have taken over the forty-five-story Torre David skyscraper; and Rio is on a mission to incorporate its favelas into the rest of the city. Here, in the most urbanised continent on the planet, extreme cities have bred extreme conditions, from vast housing estates to sprawling slums. But after decades of social and political failure, a new generation has revitalised architecture and urban design in order to address persistent poverty and inequality. Together, these activists, pragmatists and social idealists are performing bold experiments that the rest of the world may learn from. Radical Cities is a colorful journey through Latin America—a crucible of architectural and urban innovation.

La Ciudad Radical es el resultado de largos años de investigación académica en torno a la cuestión de la convivencia humana y a la fantástica y radical capacidad creadora de las sociedades, al imaginario social y a la ciudad como su gran obra. En última instancia, un manifiesto en defensa de la fantasía como potencia creadora, como característica fundamentalmente humana, que evidencia la unidad que se da en el ser humano entre el interior y el exterior, entre el pasado y el futuro, entre idea y acto, entre imagen y materia. Y como decía el Novalis de Borges, "Nosotros (la indivisa divinidad que opera en nosotros) hemos soñado el mundo ̈. Hemos soñado la ciudad, hemos inventado la convivencia. En lo imaginario, y en el imaginario, reside la infinita y reiterativa capacidad de la sociedad para inventarse y re-inventarse, para crearse y re-crearse en el mundo, a través de la ciudad. Es la imaginación la que nos ha permitido habitar el mundo construyendo, y construir el mundo habitándolo. El mundo tal como lo vivimos y como lo vemos, es la fantasía de lo humano, "el gran edificio invisible que habitamos". Una gran invención que nos permite estar en él. La imaginación es la condición de la propia existencia humana. La tentativa de catálogo de ciudades radicales intenta ser un atlas abierto de los límites imaginarios de la convivencia colectiva, de invenciones humanas, de ejemplos de ciudades, radicales y fantásticas, una colección de tipos y arquetipos que se han repetido a lo largo de la historia, desde que el ser es ser, desde el origen de las primeras sociedades. Llamo al catálogo "tentativa" porque un catálogo siempre es abierto. Abierto en un doble sentido, en sentido de inacabado, siempre caben futuras revisiones, adiciones, modificaciones, alteraciones de orden... y en el sentido de permitir multitud lecturas y posibilidades abiertas de interpretación.

Democracy has always been an especially volatile form of government, and efforts to create it in places like Iraq need to take into account the historical conditions for its success and sustainability. In this book, Joel Horowitz examines its first appearance in a country that appeared to satisfy all the criteria that political development theorists of the 1950s and 1960s identified as crucial. This experiment lasted in Argentina from 1916 to 1930, when it ended in a military coup that left a troubled political legacy for decades to come. What explains the initial success but ultimate failure of democracy during this period? Horowitz challenges previous interpretations that emphasize the role of clientelism and patronage. He argues that they fail to account fully for the Radical Party government’s ability to mobilize widespread popular support. Instead, by comparing the administrations of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Marcelo T. de Alvear, he shows how much depended on the image that Yrigoyen managed to create for himself: a secular savior who cared deeply about the less fortunate, and the embodiment of the nation. But the story is even more complex because, while failing to instill personalistic loyalty, Alvear did succeed in constructing strong ties with unions, which played a key role in undergirding the strength of both leaders’ regimes. Later successes and failures of Argentine democracy, from Juan Perón through the present, cannot be fully understood without knowing the story of the Radical Party in this earlier period.

Radicals in the Barrio uncovers a long and rich history of political radicalism within the Mexican and Chicano working class in the United States. Chacón clearly and sympathetically documents the ways that migratory workers carried with them radical political ideologies, new organizational models, and shared class experience, as they crossed the border into southwestern barrios during the first three decades of the twentieth-century. Justin Akers Chacón previous work includes No One is Illegal: Fighting Racism and State Violence on the U.S.-Mexico Border (with Mike Davis).

Restores the region’s fraught history of repression and resistance to popular consciousness and connects the United States’ interventions and influence to the influx of refugees seeking asylum today. At the center of the current immigration debate are migrants from Central America fleeing poverty, corruption, and violence in search of refuge in the United States. In Central America’s Forgotten History, Aviva Chomsky answers the urgent question “How did we get here?” Centering the centuries-long intertwined histories of US expansion and Indigenous and Central American struggles against inequality and oppression, Chomsky highlights the pernicious cycle of colonial and neocolonial development policies that promote cultures of violence and forgetting without any accountability or restorative reparations. Focusing on the valiant struggles for social and economic justice in Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Honduras, Chomsky restores these vivid and gripping events to popular consciousness. Tracing the roots of displacement and migration in Central America to the Spanish conquest and bringing us to the present day, she concludes that the more immediate roots of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras lie in the wars and in the US interventions of the 1980s and the peace accords of the 1990s that set the stage for neoliberalism in Central America. Chomsky also examines how and why histories and memories are suppressed, and the impact of losing historical memory. Only by erasing history can we claim that Central American countries created their own poverty and violence, while the United States’ enjoyment and profit from their bananas, coffee, mining, clothing, and export of arms are simply unrelated curiosities.
