This reissue, first published in 1982, is concerned with the rapid
contemporary metropolitan development in the Third World, at a time
when manufacturing and public service sectors were expending at a
terrific rate. Nevertheless, the phenomenal growth of the
metropolitan cities brings with it an increase in social
equalities, such that two thirds of the population of these cities
may be described as the urban poor'. This book concerns itself with
the question: Can we describe these urban poor as a proletariat',
or are such Western class terms totally inappropriate to the
development of the Third World? Peter Lloyd examines the nature of
Western class terminology derived largely from Marx and Weber, and
assesses its utility in the analysis of Third World Urban society.
An assessment is also made of the political strength of the urban
poor, whether they are mobilising themselves or being mobilised
from above. This reissue will be relevant to courses on Development
studies and the Third World; it will also find a wider readership
amongst social stratification and urban sociology.
