Description

Book Synopsis
In Locked In, Locked Out, Zaire Zenit Dinzey-Flores examines four communities in Ponce, Puerto Rico, showing how gates-in both physical and symbolic ways-distribute power, reroute movement, sustain social inequalities, and cement boundary lines of class and race.

Trade Review
"An elegant, unflinching dissection of the way gated housing in Puerto Rican communities produce and reinforce the symbolic and physical inequalities of our neoliberal era. In this far-ranging and original work, Dinzey-Flores maps out the zones of exclusion that are proliferating throughout our built spaces and which threaten our communal future." * Junot Díaz *
"Riveting and beautifully written. Dinzey-Flores has given us a true ethnography of power and a must-read for understanding the making of race and class through social policy in Puerto Rico as well as urban societies more generally." * Arlene Davila, author of Barrio Dreams: Puerto Ricans, Latinos, and the Neoliberal City *
