A very promising collection of essays that unfortunately disappoints. There are only 2 or 3 essays worth reading, the 3 on Latin America and especially the one on Mexico from Canclini, also the essay by Gyan Prakash on Mumbai is worth reading as well. The introduction written by Huyssen is also decent.
The essays were part of a symposium in 2001-2002 on globalization and its effect on urbanization of the peripheries. Part of the problem is that the essays are somewhat dated in this post-911 era, but also some of the essays lack the academic rigor one would expect from such a volume.
Overall, I would download the select essays, especially the ones by Canclini and Prakesh and skip this book. Good concept, just not that well written in most cases.… (meer)
