- DELUXE SQUATTERS IN PUERTO RICO: THE CASE OF LA PARGUERA'S CASETAS Rima Brusi-Gil de Lamadrid Sociología squatters Puerto Rico gentrification Illegal building This work examines the case of La Parguera, in the Southern coast of Puerto Rico, as an example of a particular type of illegal building: Second homes used mostly for vacation and/or rental purposes, usually called casetas. Although illegal building in Puerto Rico and elsewhere in Latin America isusually associated with rescates, casitas, and other forms of squatting by the poor, the present work argues that casetas in La Parguera exemplify a very different phenomenon, one that may be implicatedin coastal gentrification and displacement and that is present not only in La Parguera but in other coastal areas of Puerto Rico as well. 2008 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37712148003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=377 Centro Journal application/pdf The City University of New York Centro Journal (Estados Unidos de América) Num.2 Vol.XX
