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.

评分2016年里约的奥运宣传片了,有美丽的海岸线,有发达的富人区,也有色彩斑斓的贫民窟。贫民窟里的孩子撒欢快跑,愉快踢球——宣传镜头下,贫民窟里的穷人是快乐的,但是这并非贫民窟里的真相! 《布满贫民窟的星球》一书,让我们看到了城市繁华掩盖下的大疮疤——“城市,不再是...

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...
评分重新开启读书的生活,最近半个月读完两本书,先是一本政治人物的访谈录音整理,见证了中国的重大变局,这几天看的则是美国学者迈克.戴维斯的《布满贫民窟的星球》,是一本有关现代城市贫民窟现象的书。 “贫民窟”(Slum)是一个我们耳熟能详的词汇,它经常与贫困、混...
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.

评分最后来了一把无政府。够呛。 前面的分析还是挺到位的
评分依然是Mike Davis 一贯的立场,只是少了些第一手研究,有点杂凑的嫌疑,不过还是好书。
