Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2010.

This dissertation presents the results of an ethnoarchaeological study that traced the socio-material processes of urban vernacular spatial production on the edges of the city of La Paz since the National Revolution of 1952 to the present day. Over the years since the Revolution, the city of La Paz has undergone extensive expansion and transformation whose characteristics are largely defined by a pattern of rural to urban migration. By studying the micro processes involved in the autoconstruction of neighborhoods, that is neighborhoods founded and built by the migrants themselves, I have sought to understand the role of this recent spatial production in the context of long-term colonial and postcolonial socio-physical organization that is undergoing a variety of important and rapid transformations.

520 $a This dissertation presents the results of an ethnoarchaeological study that traced the socio-material processes of urban vernacular spatial production on the edges of the city of La Paz since the National Revolution of 1952 to the present day. Over the years since the Revolution, the city of La Paz has undergone extensive expansion and transformation whose characteristics are largely defined by a pattern of rural to urban migration. By studying the micro processes involved in the autoconstruction of neighborhoods, that is neighborhoods founded and built by the migrants themselves, I have sought to understand the role of this recent spatial production in the context of long-term colonial and postcolonial socio-physical organization that is undergoing a variety of important and rapid transformations.
520 $a I argue that the creation of new urban vernacular space has been mediating a powerful re-imagining of the city, resulting in a dialectical process: on the one hand a proliferation of class divisions, ethnic affiliations, and political networks, all bound on the other hand to a distinctive urban aesthetic that is changing the very idea of that which has historically been considered 'urban' in Bolivia more generally. The old colonial categories that mapped ethnicity/race to 'types' of spaces - that rendered 'the urban' an exclusive habitat of "white" people and their European/North American practices - is finally being ruptured and a new kind of urbanism appears to be taking shape that is driven, not by centralized urban planning schemes, but by Aymara-speaking rural-to-urban migrants who make claims upon the city through the construction of their neighborhoods, or urban vernacular spatial production.
