On conceptual hegemony and blanqueamiento vis-a-vis Latin urbanism in London
Year: 2024
Type: editorial
Abstract: The commentary focuses on two arguments addressed in the article which resonates with my research about Latin America's urban margins and Latin urbanisms in London. It will first address gentrification's conceptual hegemony and its adoption in other regions of the world where neither its translation nor conceptual understanding suffice or allow for broader nuances of the processes embedded in urban change. It will then discuss the use of blanqueamiento as a concept vis-a-vis Latin urbanism in London to argue for the need of dialogical regional interconnections.
