具体描述
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.

读后感
起卡夫卡；至於老上海，它永遠都活在張愛玲的筆下；而巴黎這座光明之城，當然是屬於本雅明的了。在我們的想像裏面，這些城市和那些作家之間的故事簡直要比梁祝還浪漫，生死相許，可歌可泣。 所以今天的遊客去了布拉格一定躲不掉印著卡夫卡頭像的T恤。要是到了上海，有人會不辭...
评分这不得不说是一本城市的辛酸史，不得不说是人民大众的血泪史，在感慨万千后，我要说的是：用黑色的眼镜看世界，世界将永远没有光明。 或许这句话本身有点唯心论，但是不得不承认的是，我无法说服自己接受书中的事实，即使知道这是事实或趋势或预言或警示，但我依然愿意往自己...

评分如果外星人对地球进行观察，他们也许会发现人类是这颗星球上最奇特的物种。其他群居生物不断增长的种群规模一旦超过某个极限，往往开始分裂，各自占据一块栖息地继续增长。有时，不分群甚至会给种群的生存造成危害。然而人类在最近几百年间呈现的是一个相反的运动态势：他们聚...
评分进入21世纪以来，世界各地灾难频频。长久以来，中外都有对“灾难发生，无论是怎样的荣华富贵也一并被转眼吞噬湮灭”的场面的描述，著书者也会说“自然威力一视同仁”。然而当今学者们告诉我们：今非昔比。 迈克·戴维斯的《布满贫民窟的星球》中“贫民窟生态学”一章中介绍了...

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.
