With a third of the global urban population already living in Dickensian slums, at least half under the age of twenty, Mike Davis explores the threat of disease, of forced settlement on hazardous terrains, and of state violence on huge populations. He shows also how poverty not only grew massively in the 1990s but how the gap between rich and poor countries expanded and how women and minorities fell further behind. Surveying the new urban poor from Bombay to Cairo, Cape Town to Rio de Janeiro, Mike Davis argues that this enormous population of marginalised labourers is not an industrious beehive of ambitious entrepreneurs but a stagnant ferment of extreme Darwinian competition which threatens to overflow the shanty-towns, and swamp the homes and businesses of the urban rich.
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...
评分 评分本书更像是作者列出主题脉络,然后寻找各种材料把它填满。当然佩服作者运用材料的能力,以及研究能力。 另外,全世界贪婪的人都是一样一样的。即使身处不同的文明,但是所有能想象到的贫民窟的真相,全世界都是一样的。 对于我国的叙述,这方面平时没有特别关注研究文献,倒是...
评分 评分封面背面写的作者简介: ... 以及最新出版的《BUDA的武器:汽车炸弹简史》(BUDA'S WAGON: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CAR BOMB)。 这么写的话,应该排除了校对的责任,是译者的问题了吧? 再看序,是潘纯林的导师王晓路写的. 最后一段: "... 纯琳是我最四川大学指导的博士生... 这...
最后来了一把无政府。够呛。 前面的分析还是挺到位的

评分依然是Mike Davis 一贯的立场,只是少了些第一手研究,有点杂凑的嫌疑,不过还是好书。
评分Mike Davis is a typical urban-apocalyptic activist and he made a lot of criticism on the place (LA, California, where he is a native). An anti-wealthiness/power socialist, criticized the reformist as most of the reforms are tackling the superficial symptoms rather than the root: inequality. The arguments are too overwhelming for me.
