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.

讀後感
最近要写一篇和贫民窟有关的文章，看了一下这本书。作者是一个美国社会学家。按理说欧美作家很会批判自己所在的社会和国家，这位作者看来没那个胆量，不敢把洛杉矶、纽约和底特律的贫民窟写得清晰些，甚至伦敦巴黎都没什么笔墨，整本书可以说是布满贫民窟的第三世界。 这本书有...
評分【卡拉OK法西斯主义 karaoke fascism】 源自人类学者Monique Skidmore的书名《卡拉OK法西斯主义：缅甸与恐怖政治》（Karaoke Fascism: Burma and the Politics of Fear）。她访问了城市周围一些凄凉的小镇——所谓的“新领地”——仰光外面军事专制强制重新安置的成千上万都市...
評分进入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...
評分本书更像是作者列出主题脉络，然后寻找各种材料把它填满。当然佩服作者运用材料的能力，以及研究能力。 另外，全世界贪婪的人都是一样一样的。即使身处不同的文明，但是所有能想象到的贫民窟的真相，全世界都是一样的。 对于我国的叙述，这方面平时没有特别关注研究文献，倒是...
評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...
用戶評價
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.
评分基本上列數字，不停quote彆人，but a helpful overview
评分依然是Mike Davis 一貫的立場，隻是少瞭些第一手研究，有點雜湊的嫌疑，不過還是好書。
评分最後來瞭一把無政府。夠嗆。 前麵的分析還是挺到位的
