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. 650 0 $a Sociology, Urban. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $x Growth. 650 0 $a Rural-urban migration. 650 0 $a Slums. 650 0 $a Urban poor. 650 7 $a Cities and towns $x Growth. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861781 650 7 $a Rural-urban migration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01101940 650 7 $a Slums. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01121194 650 7 $a Sociology, Urban. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123961 650 7 $a Urban poor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162512 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011438.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76786FA0580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
