This reissue, initially published in 1989, considers the upsurge
of locally-based movements attempting to improve living conditions
in Third-World cities throughout the 1980s. The book presents
qualitative, comparative research on the dynamics and constraints
of these urban social movements, in a cross-cultural framework,
using case studies from a variety of Latin American, African and
Asian countries.
As more democratic-type regimes establish themselves in the
Third World, the possibilities for collective organisations and
actions increase. Urban social movements therefore are playing an
increasingly important role in the habitat of the poor.
