The city’s population nearly tripled from 1920 to 1950, and the resultant population boom strained government resources and challenged living standards for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eConflict and Correspondence\u003c\/i\u003e Jason H. Dormady examines the critical transition period when Guadalajara lost control of urban growth after 1939 and when the newly empowered state and federal governments began to exercise immense control over the development of the city in 1947. As the city changed around them, residents used petitions and letters to municipal officials to help address their feelings of alienation, isolation, and separation from the community around them. Petitions took the form of sensate, moral, recreational, spiritual, and gendered arguments about creating livable communities and avoiding the disorientation experienced by urban transformation. In the context of infrastructure failures, tight housing markets, and a dramatic aesthetic transition, petitions on these topics reinforced to residents-and, they hoped, city officials-their belonging to the community. Resident petitions reveal how everyday people lived the consequences of the 1910 revolution as they advocated for shaping space and building place in midcentury Guadalajara.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: A Battle of the Senses \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Morality and Merriment \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Divine Hygiene \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Concrete Requests \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Index \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600322556184,"sku":"9781496244413","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/conflict-and-correspondence-belonging-and-urban-community-in-guadalajara-mexico-1939-1947-paperback-softback-9781496244413","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
