Latino City explores how city redevelopment plans and related city documents, as well as broader media and local publications, socially construct problems and imagined communities, erase existing and majority populations from redevelopment consideration, and create a set of practices prioritizing future communities. The book is also about resistance, detailing how residents and grassroots leaders go about unbinding rather than accepting such plans, characterizations, and projects, showing the differences that some of these efforts make, and challenges that the grassroots encounters along they way.
