“The plight of the urban poor in Mexico has changed little since World War II, despite the country's impressive rate of economic growth.

She draws on intensive research in a center city slum, a squatter settlement, and a low-cost housing development.”  Eckstein, S. (1997). The Poverty of Revolution: The State and the Urban Poor in Mexico. (pp 382). California: Princeton University Press
