New Century and Old DemonsReviews'Arturo Almandoz's Modernization, Urbanization and Development in Latin America, 1900s- 2000s is a tour de force.' - Clara Irazabal, Columbia University, USA 'Arturo Almandoz's Modernization, Urbanization and Development in Latin America, 1900s- 2000s is a tour de force.' - Clara Irazabal, Columbia University, USA It presents a comparative analysis of the evolution of modernization, urbanization and planning in Latin America, which it describes as encompassing 'the aggregation of the former Hispanic and Portuguese colonies after their independence in the first decades of the nineteenth century'. Clara Irazabal, Columbia University It is rather, in the author's words 'an urban cultural history' set in the context of the intertwined processes of industrialization and urbanization, and modernization and development. Almandoz stakes out a broad historical, geographical, and intellectual agenda in this book and engages a vast bibliography of scholarly sources in history, sociology, architecture, urban planning, development theory, and economics, among others.
