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, and even from 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 unforeseen
development, and asks whether the great slums, as a terrified
Victorian middle class once imagined, are volcanoes waiting to
erupt.
