The avenues and plazas of Mexico City, Havana, Santo Domingo, Caracas, Bogotaì, Sa o Paulo, Lima, Santiago, and Buenos Aires have been the backdrop for extraordinary, history-making events. While some argue that public spaces are a prerequisite for the expression, representation and reinforcement of democracy, they can equally be used in the pursuit of totalitarianism. Indeed, public spaces, in both the past and present, have been the site for the contestation by ordinary people of various stances on democracy and citizenship. By exploring the use and meaning of public spaces in Latin American cities, this book sheds light on contemporary definitions of citizenship and democracy in the Americas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clara Irazábal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415354528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415354523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.49h x 6.31w x 0.69d","brand":"Clara Irazábal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136077050111,"sku":"9780415354523","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34173827-b396-4702-8b8d-943a0a5b4611.jpg?v=1770160358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ordinary-placesextraordinary-events-clara-irazzabal-9780415354523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
