Reviews for Riots in the Cities
Kudos to Arrom and Ortoll for restoring riots, street celebrations, and other...forms of popular politics and consciousness to the Latin Americanist's research agenda. The seven essays...are all empirically rich and informed by recent trends in social theory. Arrom’s conceptual introduction and Charles Tilly’s concluding reflections are worth the price of admission alone.
