- Summary:
- The construction of large vertical real estate projects in Mexico City has produced anxiety and excitement in many residents of neighborhoods, districts and towns. The book "The inner city" represents a year of ethnographic work with neighbors of the district and the town of Xoco and reveals the circumstances and consequences, both intimate and public, of a disruptive, changing urban processes of governance. "Questioning the preconceptions about the social order of urban peoples as "traditional" spaces, these pages trace the blurred routes that connect local neighbors with modern affections and identities, From border spaces between different audiences, the routes of access to resources and benefits derived from political work are broken and reconstructed. From Xoco, this book is an intimate reading map to navigate the transformation of the city and look back at our neighboring urban spaces, however insignificant they may seem."
