In this political ethnography of the "marginalized" population of Netzahuacoyotl Izcalli, the fourth largest city in Mexico, Carlos Vélez-Ibañez shows that although marginalized groups seldom emerge the clear winners of political struggles, they gain a sense of autonomy and social power that can never be erased.

University Press Paperback. In this political ethnography of the "marginalized" population of Netzahuacoyotl Izcalli, the fourth largest city in Mexico, Carlos Vélez-Ibañez shows that although marginalized groups seldom emerge the clear winners of political struggles, they gain a sense of autonomy and social power that can never be erased. This is a gutsy ethnography written by someone who has not just an excellent feel for the situation, but a remarkable flair for writing tangy English. If you want to know what it was like on the urban frontier when Mexico was jumping with political activity, this is quite simply the best book in English there is.
