Latinos are one of the largest and fastest growing social groups in the United States, and their increased presence is profoundly shaping the character of urban, suburban, and rural places. This is a response to these developments and is the first book written for readers seeking to learn about, engage and plan with Latino communities. It considers how placemaking in marginalized communities sheds light on, and can inform, community-building practices of professionals and place dwellers alike. Diálogos: Placemaking in Latino Communities will help readers better understand the conflicts and challenges inherent in placemaking, and to make effective and sustainable choices for practice in an increasingly multi-ethnic world. The essays explore three aspects of place: the appropriation and territorialization of the built environment, the claiming of rights through collective action, and a sense of belonging through civic participation. The authors illustrate their ideas through case studies and explain the implications of their work for placemaking practice. A consistent theme about planning and design practice in Latino communities emerges throughout the book: placemaking happens with or without professional planners and designers. All of the essays in Diálogos demonstrate the need to not only imagine, build, and make places with local communities, but also to re-imagine how we practice democracy inclusive of cross-cultural exchange, understanding, and respect. This will require educators, students, and working professionals to incorporate the knowledge and skills of cultural competency into their everyday practices.

Place matters – for good and bad. Infinitely diverse in form, place embodies the action settings where social life happens. Often fighting to preserve a sense of group belonging in the process, we design places to reflect our values and interests. With an eye on our rapidly changing world, People, Places, and Belonging explores how social realities at every level are affected by the places we collectively forge across various social domains. The book shows how place-related circumstances can promote personal empowerment, civic engagement, and social and environmental justice. Discussing places that affect personal and social well-being, including homes, communities, vehicles, and the metaverse, William Marsiglio illustrates how a web of social processes involving claims, attachments, rituals, and transitions (CART) structure our experiences in place. The author argues that we can use decision-making principles to enhance our attachments, encourage supportive rituals, smooth out transitions, and manage claims with less conflict and more social justice. Armed with a heightened place consciousness and ethical principles, People, Places, and Belonging ultimately posits that we must individually and collectively build places that enrich our lives, celebrate the communal spirit, and foster social equity and ecological justice.

Countering the idea of Hmong women as victims, the contributors to this pathbreaking volume demonstrate how the prevailing scholarly emphasis on Hmong culture and men as the primary culprits of women’s subjugation perpetuates the perception of a Hmong premodern status and renders unintelligible women’s nuanced responses to patriarchal strategies of domination both in the United States and in Southeast Asia. Claiming Place expands knowledge about the Hmong lived reality while contributing to broader conversations on sexuality, diaspora, and agency. While these essays center on Hmong experiences, activism, and popular representations, they also underscore the complex gender dynamics between women and men and address the wider concerns of gendered status of the Hmong in historical and contemporary contexts, including deeply embedded notions around issues of masculinity. Organized to highlight themes of history, memory, war, migration, sexuality, selfhood, and belonging, this book moves beyond a critique of Hmong patriarchy to argue that Hmong women have been and continue to be active agents not only in challenging oppressive societal practices within hierarchies of power but also in creating alternative forms of belonging.

This book is a collection of new and previously published essays that take as their central theme the importance of 'placed' human beings, but each of us is enriched to the extent that we can belong to, and participate in, a well-ordered human community integrated into the natural landscape of a particular place.

What are the imagined communities that compel men to kill or to die for an idea of a nation? This notion of nationhood had its origins in the founding of the Americas, but was then adopted and transformed by populist movements in nineteenth-century Europe. It became the rallying cry for anti-Imperialism as well as the abiding explanation for colonialism. In this scintillating, groundbreaking work of intellectual history Anderson explores how ideas are formed and reformulated at every level, from high politics to popular culture, and the way that they can make people do extraordinary things. In the twenty-first century, these debates on the nature of the nation state are even more urgent. As new nations rise, vying for influence, and old empires decline, we must understand who we are as a community in the face of history, and change.

Colonial capitalism has eroded many historical community structures and knowledge systems in its enterprise of global extraction. In addressing the resulting crises of climate change, hyper-consumption, flawed educational models, and generational shifts, revitalizing the socio-cultural ties of communities is one first step toward sustainability, equity, and resilience on a local scale. My thesis explores third places--specifically a new evolution of the library type--to rebuild these relationships through generational, anonymous wisdom. This library will be generated through what I understand as "gifts," that is knowledge and resources that were historically available but have been neglected or overwritten, from sourdough starters with advice on how to care for them to hand-illustrated maps of neighborhood walks and resources. This thesis claims a new architecture of place, community, conversation, and generation will foster the networks and experiments necessary to imagine and build better futures.
