Originally published as 'Cities of Peasants', this highly-acclaimed
account of the expansion of capitalism in the developing world has
now been extensively rewritten and updated.
Focusing on Latin America, Bryan Roberts traces the evolution of
developing societies and their economies to the present. Taking
account of the move towards more 'open' economies, a shrinking of
the state and various transitions towards democracies, he shows how
urban growth has produced new patterns of social stratification,
creating opportunities for social mobility, but doing little to
decrease income inequality or political and social pressures.
Underlying social changes have broadened the practice of
citizenship in developing countries, limiting authoritarian rule
but within a context of entrenched social inequalities and
persisting political instability. This book conveys both the
flavour of life in the cities of the third world and the immediacy
of their problems.
