In contemporary Manila slums and squatter settlements are peppered throughout the city often pushing right up against the walled enclaves of the privileged creating the complex geopolitical pattern of Marco Z Garridos patchwork city Garrido documents the fragmentation of Manila into a mélange of spaces defined by class particularly slums and upper and middleclass enclaves He then looks beyond urban fragmentation to delineate its effects on class relations and politics arguing that the proliferation of these slums and enclaves and their subsequent proximity have intensified class relations For enclave residents the proximity of slums is a source of insecurity compelling them to impose spatial boundaries on slum residents For slum residents the regular imposition of these boundaries creates a pervasive sense of discrimination Class boundaries then sharpen along the housing divide and the urban poor and middle class emerge not as labor and capital but as squatters and villagers Manilas name for subdivision residents Garrido further examines the politicization of this divide with the case of the populist president Joseph Estrada finding the two sides drawn into contention over not just the right to the city but the nature of democracy itself The Patchwork City illuminates how segregation class relations and democracy are all intensely connected It makes clear ultimately that class as a social structure is as indispensable to the study of Manilaand of many other cities of the Global Southas race is to the study of American cities
