Cities From Scratch
«“The present compilation is an indispensable work for scholars, students, and those who are generally interested in urban themes for Latin America and, most especially, in matters involving the development and consolidation of informal neighborhoods there. … One of the strengths of this work is to bring together historians, sociologists, and anthropologists, thus allowing for a fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue. … It is worth mentioning the compilation’s excellent editing and production, which lend an organic quality to it that respects the diversity of ideas and theoretical options.”»

"Cities From Scratch is an extremely useful effort, both for the detailed case studies it contains and for the wealth of conceptual and analytic ideas that should provide fuel for much new work."
Henry Dietz, Latin American Politics and Society
"Cities from Scratch provides a timely addition to our understanding of how urbanization and informalization processes play out over time in various Latin American cities."
Janice Perlman, Planning Perspectives
