Creative Spaces: Urban Culture and Marginality in Latin America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781908857484)

The essays within this collection reassess dominant theoretical notions of 'marginality' in Latin America and argue that, in contemporary society, it invariably allows for (if not leads to) the production of the new. Viewing them neither as spaces of deprivation nor romanticized spaces of opportunity, this volume analyses the production of new art forms, political organizations and subjectivities emerging from the urban margins in Latin America, neither condemning nor idealizing the effects they produce.
