Francisco de Toledo, viceroy of Peru (1569–81), wrote to his king: “[The] first settlers of the cities who remained there as magistrates assumed the power of the governors sent to them so as to give and distribute to the settlers the lands they felt to be necessary. This they did more generously than later seemed proper, and they also caused the cabildos to give lands to those who asked for them, with so little thought for the common good of the cities that they failed to leave aside dehesas, or ejidos or propios in most cases, as needed to maintain the republics.” Relaciones de los virreyes y audiencias que ban gobernado el Perú (3 vols., Lima and Madrid, 1867–72), I, 14–15.

For a strategy with respect to such zones Viceroy Manuel de Guirior established a vigorous if paternalistic precedent. In 1780 he wrote of his troubles with Pitipití, a settlement of 2,000 persons of all castas near the plaza of Callao that was subject to “grave and continuous disorders.” Deserters took shelter there; theft, murder and assault were endemic. The haphazard grouping of shacks made it hard to intervene without risking violence. “But keeping always in mind the necessity which created this first settlement, I seized a good opportunity, and without any disturbance or casualties the inhabitants were all moved near the town of San Simón de Villavista, a quarter of a league from Callao. There, with the streets and facilities that were given to them, they are building houses and ranchos where they can live more obedient and civilized lives.” Relaciones de los virreyes …, op. cit., III, 90 (italics added).

82. Research by North Americans on Latin American slum and shanty dwellers hums with a war chant against venerated theoretical models for urban society. What the new interpretations prove is not so much the ethnocentrism of Maine or Durkheim or Wirth as the naïveté of contemporary American social science and the inability of its practitioners to deal simultaneously with generalized models and cultural systems. The “culture of poverty” invites the same mischievous inversion which Marx performed for Proudhon's “philosophy of poverty.”
