City Public Service in San Antonio

''This will be a much debated book among local, state, and national politicians and government officials. It makes a significant contribution in the fields of urban development, environmental planning, comparative urbanization, and U.S.-Mexico border studies. The scholarship is impressive.''--Lawrence A. Herzog, Professor of City Planning, San Diego State UniversityToday in Texas, over 1500 colonias in the counties along the Mexican border are home to some 400,000 people. Often lacking basic services, such as electricity, water and sewerage, fire protection, policing, schools, and health care, these "irregular" subdivisions offer the only low-cost housing available to the mostly Hispanic working poor. This book presents the results of a major study of colonias in three transborder metropolitan areas and uncovers the reasons why colonias are spreading so rapidly. Peter Ward compares Texas colonias with their Mexican counterparts, many of which have developed into fully integrated working-class urban communities. He describes how Mexican governments have worked with colonia residents to make physical improvements and upgrade services--a model that Texas policymakers can learn from, Ward asserts. Finally, he concludes with a hard-hitting checklist of public policy initiatives that need to be considered as colonia housing policy enters its second decade in Texas.

Speaking from a breadth of disciplines, themes, and cultural perspectives, the eight essays in this collection offer a wide-ranging view on the ways theatre can be employed in the service of public health. The book begins with a look at the projects of two activist theatre companies: the Theatre Parminou of Quebec's intervention play on domestic violence and the San Francisco Mime Troupe's deconstruction of the tobacco industry's manipulation of teenagers. The next two essays analyze a "theatre for survival", where interventions and productions dealing with AIDS and peer violence are performed for and by New York inner-city youth, and a radio sitcom/soap opera devised to raise AIDS awareness in the Copper Belt region of Zambia. Other essays highlight a therapist producing theatre with his patients and an acting coach involved in training family therapists. Through examples drawn from university teaching and field work ranging from "invisible theatre" in a California shopping mall to an intervention piece on childhood malnutrition in the former Zaire, the final essays take an in-depth look at the issues and methods driving a theatre which seeks to contaminate in order to produce a healthy change.
