Book Synopsis The Colonias Reader by : Angela J. Donelson
Download or read book The Colonias Reader written by Angela J. Donelson and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colonias of the U.S.–Mexico border form a loose network of more than 2,500 settlements, ranging in size from villages to cities, that are home to over a million people. While varying in size, all share common features: wrenching poverty, substandard housing, and public health issues approaching crisis levels. This book brings together scholars, professionals, and activists from a wide range of disciplines to examine the pressing issues of economic development, housing and community development, and public and environmental health in colonias of the four U.S.–Mexico border states. The Colonias Reader is the first book to present such a broad overview of these communities, offering a glimpse into life in the colonias and the circumstances that allow them to continue to exist—and even grow—in persistent poverty. The contributors document the depth of existing problems in each state and describe how government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and community activists have mobilized resources to overcome obstacles to progress. More than reporting problems and documenting programs, the book provides conceptual frameworks that tie poverty to institutional and class-based conflicts, and even challenges the very basis of colonia designations. Most of these contributions move beyond portraying border residents as hapless victims of discrimination and racism, showing instead their devotion to improving their own living conditions through grassroots organizing and community leadership. These contributions show that, despite varying degrees of success, all colonia residents aspire to a livable wage, safe and decent housing, and basic health care. The Colonias Reader showcases many situations in which these people have organized to fulfill these ambitions and provides new insight into life along the border.
Book Synopsis Colonias in Arizona and New Mexico by : Adrian X. Esparza
Download or read book Colonias in Arizona and New Mexico written by Adrian X. Esparza and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are approximately half a million people living in 227 officially designated colonias in southern Arizona and New Mexico. These border communities are characterized by poor-quality housing, a lack of infrastructure (paved roads, water and sewer systems, and electricity), high levels of poverty and unemployment, and a disproportionate concentration of Hispanics. These colonias comprise one of the country’s largest pockets of poverty. Even so, little is known about these towns or the people who live in them. This book provides the first comprehensive treatment of Arizona and New Mexico colonias, with the aim of increasing their visibility and promoting community development. Beginning with an examination of the origins of border region settlement and the emergence of colonias in southern Arizona and New Mexico in the late 1800s, the book then turns to an assessment of current social, economic, and housing conditions. The authors also examine how Mexico’s recent economic crises and U.S. immigration and border security policies have shaped the quality of life in colonias, and they evaluate recent community development initiatives. By examining the challenges and successes of these recent efforts, the authors are able to provide a generalized plan for community development. Balancing analyses of these communities with a review of the positive steps taken to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants, Colonias in Arizona and New Mexico is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in public policy or immigration issues.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonias— a subset of peri-urban subdivisions located in the United States — often lack ease of access to critical infrastructure services, such as water, wastewater, or energy, consequentially cascading into public health challenges and reduced community well-being. This challenge has been tackled globally through differing policy approaches (dependent on location) in attempt to improve the access to such services and the built environment standards existing in these communities. One category of such policy efforts deemed relatively successful is “In-Place Upgrading”, requiring local participation of the community residents. In Texas colonias, a statewide law was enacted in 1995 to encourage in-place upgrading. This law, leveraging the prioritization of energy infrastructure in households above other infrastructure services, introduced a logical dependency into communities that required residents—prior to connecting to electricity or gas—to have their platted land registered with the city/county and then connected to adequate water and wastewater services. This study seeks to assess the relationship between built environment parameters associated with water and wastewater access, and thereby impacting energy access, approximately two decades after the law has been introduced, as well as the perceived burden and efficacy of this particular law on boarder colonia residents. Enabled by publically available data from the Attorney General of Texas Office and semi-structured interviews from state decision makers and promotoras (local community volunteers), hypothesis testing and qualitative methods are used to answer and understand the aforementioned objectives. Three counties—Hidalgo, El Paso, and Cameron—representing 1,297 colonias were used in this analysis. The results revealed that among 110 combinations of parameters exploring colonias access to services and built environment, only one associated pair—colonia incorporation into a city and the presence of a community water system—was present in all three counties. However, many other associated parameters were significance in only one county, indicating the heterogeneity present at the community level when evaluating parameters possibly influencing access to built environment services. Findings from this study suggest decision makers—in addition to those policies and laws in place— focus on localized county/city-level efforts tailored to the community to increase access and improve the built environment.
