Résumé

Using the theoretical perspective originally developed by West and Zimmerman (1987)—wherein gender is viewed as a dynamic, interactional accomplishment rather than a categorical status, this article explores how both gender and race-ethnicity are reinforced and affirmed among 152 selected Chicana white-collar workers in a major public university. Based on results from a 1989–1990 mail survey and in-depth interviews with 35 randomly-selected respondents, I find that the tasks performed in the workplace, sex-and-race/ethnic discrimination and harassment, and the female-associated tasks Chicanas continue to do at home, all intensify their accomplishment of gender as well as reinforce occupational segregation by gender and gender-race/ethnicity. Moreover, Chicanas' attachment to family is linked ideologically to the survival of the Chicano culture, rendering their accomplishment of gender an overt act of racial-ethnic and cultural politics. This particular finding may well be a neglected truth in many women's lives.

This article explores the process and meaning of occupational mobility among a selected sample of 40 immigrant and nonimmigrant women of Mexican descent in the San Francisco Bay Area who entered the secondary labor market of semiskilled clerical, service, and operative jobs in 1978-1979 and 1980-1981. This labor market was segmented along race and gender lines with few promotional ladders available as the work force became more nonwhite and female. When Chicanas and Mexicanas obtained jobs with fewer Chicano coworkers and greater avenues for advancement, they reported escalating conflictual social relations at work. Occupational mobility contained both objective and subjective dimensions for the respondents. Often a woman felt mobile in a job that lacked the means for advancement because she compared herself to a local Chicano or Mexicano working-class reference group and a self-concept rooted in her class, race, and gender.

Este artículo reflexiona sobre las desigualdades socio-espaciales en las ciudades latinoamericanas. Un informe reciente del Banco Mundial señala que América Latina es el único continente en el que la desigualdad de ingresos se redujo durante la última década. Este significativo y esperanzador dato no puede ocultar, sin embargo, una realidad compleja: América Latina es el continente más urbanizado y el más desigual del mundo. Ante este escenario, el presente artículo busca reflexionar sobre los vínculos entre urbanismo y desigualdad en tiempos de globalización, mirando la evolución de algunas de las principales ciudades latinoamericanas en las últimas dos décadas. El artículo se focaliza en dos problemas analíticos, una paradoja sustantiva y una propuesta política, señalando la necesidad de regulación de los usos del suelo en una política orientada hacia la reducción de la desigualdad. ; This paper reflects on the socio-spatial inequalities in Latin American cities. A recent World Bank report notes that Latin America is the only continent where income inequality declined during the last decade. This significant and hopeful finding cannot hide, however, a complex situation: Latin America is the most urbanized and the most unequal continent in the world. Against this backdrop, this article meditates on the links between urbanism and inequality in times of globalization, looking at the evolution of some major Latin American cities in the last two decades. The paper focuses on two analytical problems, one substantive paradox and a political proposal that underscore the need for regulation of land use as a policy aimed at reducing inequality. ; Fil: Segura, Ramiro.

"Historical studies on the involvement of architecture in twentieth-century politics have overlooked its contribution to building Spain's democracy. This pioneering book seeks to fill that void. Between the late 1970s and early 1990s, Spain founded representative institutions, launched its welfare state, and devolved autonomy to its regions. The study brings forth the architectural incarnation of that threefold program as it deployed in the Valencian Country, a Catalan-speaking region on Spain's Mediterranean shores. There, social democratic authorities mobilized architects, planners, and graphic artists to devise a newly open public sphere and to recover a local identity that Franco's dictatorship had repressed for decades. The research follows the impetus of reform and its contradictions through urban projects, designs for cultural amenities, and the renovation of governmental and professional bodies. Architecture for Spain's Recovered Democracy contributes to current debates on nationalism and the arts, the environments of democratic socialism, and postmodernism and neoliberalism. As a result, it widens our understanding of how peripheral regions may yield egalitarian architectures of resistance. This book is written for students and researchers in architecture and planning, art history, spatial politics, and Hispanic studies, as well as for a general readership interested in inclusive politics in the built environment"--
