Abstract

This article is an analysis of the history and redevelopment activities of the three largest Community Development Corporations serving Mexican-American neighborhoods. Its focus is the relationship between grassroots political activism, urban economic development strategies, and free-market processes in inner-city neighborhoods. It is argued that the low levels of political and economic support CDCs have received over the years have eroded their ability to reverse the economic decline of their respective target areas.
