An anthropological-historical examination of city in the interior of Venezuela that was formed in the 1950s and 60s through encounters between state bureaucrats, local and migrant populations, and U.S. capitalists and urban planners. Strong social and economic divisions in the city are analyzed as having been inscribed by this encounter, which also served to transform aspirations among residents and situate the city as a touchstone of modern progress in the national imaginary.
