- Summary:
- This book presents a social and political history of the coast of Vicente López, a municipality north of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It examines the changing uses and perceptions of the coastal area along the Río de la Plata from the late 19th century to the early 21st century. The author analyzes how different social classes interacted with this public space over time, from elite summer homes and hotels to popular beaches and recreation areas. Key themes include the rise of mass beach culture in the early 20th century, state efforts to regulate coastal activities, the impact of urbanization and infrastructure projects, and more recent gentrification trends. Drawing on diverse sources, the book offers insights into broader metropolitan processes through a local case study of coastal development and use.
