Barrio America: How Latino Immigrants Saved the American City
Skyscraper Museum
A. K. Sandoval-Strausz book talk. Recent urbanist writings have pointed to a “creative class” of young professionals as the energy reviving American cities. But in his new book Barrio America historian A.K. Sandoval-Strausz argues that another, far less visible group really deserved the credit: Latino and Latina immigrants. In this illustrated talk, Sandoval-Strausz will focus on two barrios: Chicago’s Little Village and Dallas’s Oak Cliff, showing how Latinos made cities dynamic, stable, and safe by purchasing homes, opening businesses, and reviving street life. Reservations are required. 39 Battery Place. FREE
