Immigration And Integration Religious And Political Activism For/With Immigrants In Los Angeles, Clara Irazabal 2011 Columbia University

Immigration And Integration Religious And Political Activism For/With Immigrants In Los Angeles, Clara Irazabal

Clara Irazabal

Although the role of religion in the lives of immigrants has recently been a subject of interest by scholars, there has not been much focus on the importance of the religio-political activism of faith-based and community organizations in favour of immigrants. This article focuses on a religious congregation, Immanuel Presbyterian Church, and a community-organizing network, the Salvadoran American National Association, to demonstrate how religion is actively promoting and aiding political engagement on behalf of and with immigrants in Los Angeles, with a particular, although not exclusive, focus on immigrants of Latino origin, who comprise the lion’s share of immigrants in …


Transforming Subjectivities: Service That Expands Learning In Urban Planning, Clara Irazabal, Susan C. Harris 2011 Columbia University

Transforming Subjectivities: Service That Expands Learning In Urban Planning, Clara Irazabal, Susan C. Harris

Clara Irazabal

In a recent service-learning course we taught at the University of Southern California (USC), our goal was the 'transformation of subjectivity", as students traversed their own paths from students to professionals, learners to doers and coeducators, and from experts to collaborators. Our intent was to minimize the boundaries separating classroom and community. We encouraged students to bridge the gap between disciplines (urban planning, public policy, public management, public administration, and real estate) and sought to help them become collaborative and socially responsible professionals. We also tried to change the role that community partners usually play in service-learning partnership. Many public …

Review Of Taming The Disorderly City: The Spatial Landscape Of Johannesburg After Apartheid, By Martin J. Murray, Clara Irazabal 2011 Columbia University

Review Of Taming The Disorderly City: The Spatial Landscape Of Johannesburg After Apartheid, By Martin J. Murray, Clara Irazabal

Clara Irazabal

Murray has produced a mesmerizing account of Johannesburg as an iconic neoliberal city of despicable inequality and polarization. According to his portrayal, the blatantly racist spatial regime of apartheid Johannesburg has given way, in the post-apartheid era, to a classist spatial war against the poor.


Ethnoscapes, Clara Irazabal 2011 Columbia University

Ethnoscapes, Clara Irazabal

Clara Irazabal

Although the urban planning and design literature extensively explores the intersection of race and space, much less work has been done on the study of ethnicity and space, an interrelation I refer to as producting ethnoscapes. This chapter discusses the emergence of ethnoscapes as contemporary spatial typologies, heightened by the new global socio-economic order. The chapter analyzes different processes of ethnicization of space, particularly focusing on Latina/o ethnoscapes in the United States. Latina/os have distinctively used processes of territorializing, regulating, and symbolizing place to sustain distinctive communities flavored by ethnic business and social associations (Arreola 2002; Aguilar San Juan 2005; …


Golden Geese Or White Elephants? The Paradoxes Of World Heritage Sites And Community-Based Tourism Development In Agra, India, Clara Irazabal, Surajit Chakravarty 2011 Columbia University

Golden Geese Or White Elephants? The Paradoxes Of World Heritage Sites And Community-Based Tourism Development In Agra, India, Clara Irazabal, Surajit Chakravarty

Clara Irazabal

This study examines the relationship between World Heritage Sites (WHSs) and local community development in Agra, India. We investigate two interrelated themes: the role of planning in developing the tourism potential of the Taj Mahal and other WHSs in Agra, and the impact of the WHS framework on the development of the city. We analyze the weaknesses of the institutions and agencies responsible for Agra’s inability to convert the development potential created by its three WHSs into significant economic, community and infrastructure improvements. The Agra case reveals a set of developmental paradoxes, whereby the restructuring of the tourist industry induced …

¿Prevenir O Gobernar La Violencia?, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. 2011 FLACSO, Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales. Sede Ecuador

¿Prevenir O Gobernar La Violencia?, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

Un fantasma se cierne sobre América Latina: el fantasma de la violencia. Contra este fantasma se han conjurado en santa unión todos los organismos de cooperación internacional, los gobiernos de nuestros países, los partidos políticos de todos los signos, los medios de comunicación y las sociedades victimizadas. Es un fantasma porque es la imagen de las personas muertas que, según dice, se les aparece permanentemente a los vivos; y se les aparece com percepción porque existe un aumento significativo de las tasas de homicidio, que en 25 años se han duplicado: se pasó de los 12 homicidios por cien mil …

Relaciones Fronterizas: Encuentros Y Conflictos, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq., Johanna P. Espín Msc.

Fernando Carrión Mena

La inseguridad se ha convertido en uno de los temas más relevantes en las ciudades latinoamericanas, en parte debido al incremento de su magnitud, a las nuevas formas que asume y a los impactos sociales, económicos y ambientales que produce. Sin embargo, en las zonas de frontera, las cuales generalmente se encuentran alejadas de los centros urbanos principales, la situación tiene características aún más particulares y complejas. Ante esto, se hace necesario posicionar dicha problemática en el debate público, con la finalidad de conocer la realidad cotidiana de las poblaciones fronterizas, definir políticas públicas certeras y, además, reducir la distancia …
