Reviews

"""In this skillful work of interdisciplinary rigor Hotel Mexico is the first study to situate the ’68 movement within urban culture and space by using the methodologies of collective memory and cultural studies. ... In this refreshing study, Flaherty employs an impressive array of sources to weave a deeply more complex narrative of 1960s Mexico than academics tend to tell in similar books."" * Planning Perspectives * ""Flaherty understands students’ 'spatiopolitical imaginations' as offering counterhegemonic visions of their rights to the city (136). Hotel Mexico rightly argues that urban space was a constant site of political struggle."" * Latin American Research Review *"
