Book Chapter

The urban revolution(s) in Latin America: Reinventing Utopia

Abstract

This chapter explores Lefebvre’s key ideas about class struggle taking place through the production of space. It does so by examining the transition from import-substitution industrialisation (ISI) to neoliberalism in Latin America using his spatial triad as a key tool of research. Moreover, it subsequently explores the contestation of neoliberalism in the region by subaltern classes, examining how this can be linked to Lefebvre’s broader notions of differential space, urban revolt and autogestion.
