Targeted at younger scholars, a panel of leading researchers whose early work was shaped by marginality and dependency thinking of the 1960s were invited to reflect cross-generationally about how para-digms analyzing poverty in Latin American cities have shifted from that time to the present. Specifically, each of the authors compares “marginality ” as it was construed more than three decades ago with contemporary constructions of pov-erty and social organization arising from their more recent research. While there are important continuities, the authors concur that the so-called “new poverty” today is very different, being more structural, more segmented and, perhaps para-doxically, more exclusionary than before. Moreover, the shift from a largely patrimonialist and undemocratic state towards one that, while more democratic, is also slimmer and downsized, thereby shiftin...

To my parents, Nan and Ralph, and sister, Melissa, for always encouraging me to reach for the stars. And to B.E.L. who motivated me to the very end. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my gratitude to so many people along the way who helped me pass this milestone and great accomplishment. I thank the wonderful teachers and mentors at Bucknell University who embraced my vision of combining academic research and enrichment with hands-on experiences. It was their faith in my abilities as a Sociologist that led me to the University of Texas. I am grateful to the Andrew Mellon Foundation for the study of Latin American Sociology who has funded my graduate career in its entirety. Peter Ward was always willing to provide me with the financial backing necessary to carry out my Master’s, pre-dissertation, and dissertation fieldwork. Without his support, this research m...

First of all, this dissertation would not have been possible without my two excellent supervisors. Professor Bryan Roberts led me to the research of Latin America, and his brilliant ideas always stimulated my academic creativity. Professor Andrés Villarreal has played a central role in the development of my intellectual and scholarly interest. I would like to show my sincere gratitude to them for their constant supports and guidance. Susan Roberts was a hidden supervisor of my dissertation. Her warmness and sense of humor provided me with great relaxations in every stressful time, and her love for human society always inspired me. I extend my special thanks to Professor Thomas Pullum, who was my first year mentor and a committee member. His willingness to listen to me and provide helpful advices was motivating force in my academic life. Other members of my dissertation committee, Profess...

It has profited from a close association with government. This association has, at times, led to an uneasy relationship with academics, but in recent years, the increasing availability of official survey data has permitted independent critiques of the government's own analysis of surveys
