«La vida secreta de las ciudades» is the essay by Suketu Mehta, published by Random House in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Suketu Mehta observes how immigrants transform great cities and make them their home. The work explores migratory movements, the different forms of community, and the alienation that accompanies those who arrive, and shows how, despite loneliness and inequalities, cities create affective bonds and networks of solidarity that allow them to adapt and evolve.
Published in February 2017, with a Spanish translation by Cruz Rodríguez Juiz from the original English.
A work for readers of essays, urbanism, and social reportage who want to understand how migration shapes urban life.
