Celebrated urban theorist lifts the lid on the effects of a global explosion of disenfranchised slum-dwellers.
According to the United Nations, more than one billion people now live in the slums of the cities of the South. In this brilliant and ambitious book, Mike Davis explores the future of a radically unequal and explosively unstable urban world.
From the sprawling barricadas of Lima to the garbage hills of Manila, urbanization has been disconnected from industrialization, even economic growth. Davis portrays a vast humanity warehoused in shantytowns and exiled from the formal world economy. He argues that the rise of this informal urban proletariat is a wholly original development unforeseen by either classical Marxism or neoliberal theory.
Are the great slums, as a terrified Victorian middle class once imagined, volcanoes waiting to erupt? Davis provides the first global overview of the diverse religious, ethnic, and political movements competing for the souls of the new urban poor. He surveys Hindu fundamentalism in Bombay, the Islamist resistance in Casablanca and Cairo, street gangs in Cape Town and San Salvador, Pentecostalism in Kinshasa and Rio de Janeiro, and revolutionary populism in Caracas and La Paz.Planet of Slums ends with a provocative meditation on the "war on terrorism" as an incipient world war between the American empire and the slum poor.

評分很重要的書,但是分析單薄

評分まあまあ……很佩服作者用瞭這麼多材料,以及Third World是個很復雜的問題,不是一兩句postcolonialism, neoliberalism就可以打發掉的。
进入21世纪以来,世界各地灾难频频。长久以来,中外都有对“灾难发生,无论是怎样的荣华富贵也一并被转眼吞噬湮灭”的场面的描述,著书者也会说“自然威力一视同仁”。然而当今学者们告诉我们:今非昔比。 迈克·戴维斯的《布满贫民窟的星球》中“贫民窟生态学”一章中介绍了...
評分首先,很惭愧地说,居然九个月没写过书评了。真是无颜见江东父老。这期间也确实好像没读过书,无话可说。工作忙,生活忙,也不知道忙了些什么。很大的一个问题就是花了太多时间在各种屏幕前头,时间都被消耗。就连这本200页的书也拖拖拉拉搞了两个多月才看完。 此书在好两次会...
評分文/梁捷 伟大的城市与贫民窟 维科认为,城市是文明涌现的象征,那大约发生在六千年之前。城市出现,人类才拥有真正意义上的历史。而就在最近几十年,我们又在经历另一场革命,全球城市数量和城市人口数量爆炸性增长,世界上大多数人正源源不断地从农村转移到城市,创造出一个又...
評分重新开启读书的生活,最近半个月读完两本书,先是一本政治人物的访谈录音整理,见证了中国的重大变局,这几天看的则是美国学者迈克.戴维斯的《布满贫民窟的星球》,是一本有关现代城市贫民窟现象的书。 “贫民窟”(Slum)是一个我们耳熟能详的词汇,它经常与贫困、混...
評分起卡夫卡;至於老上海,它永遠都活在張愛玲的筆下;而巴黎這座光明之城,當然是屬於本雅明的了。在我們的想像裏面,這些城市和那些作家之間的故事簡直要比梁祝還浪漫,生死相許,可歌可泣。 所以今天的遊客去了布拉格一定躲不掉印著卡夫卡頭像的T恤。要是到了上海,有人會不辭...
