Book Discussion: DIÁLOGOS: PLACEMAKING IN LATINO COMMUNITIES

By Michael Rios, Associate Professor of Human Ecology, UC Davis

From the Publisher

“‘Diálogos: Placemaking in Latino Communities’ will help readers better understand the conflicts and challenges inherent in placemaking, and to make effective and sustainable choices for practice in an increasingly multi-ethnic world. The essays explore three aspects of place: the appropriation and territorialization of the built environment, the claiming of rights through collective action, and a sense of belonging through civic participation. The authors illustrate their ideas through case studies and explain the implications of their work for placemaking practice.”
