About this ebook:
Se a imagem da metrópole no século XX era a dos arranha-céus e das oportunidades de emprego, Planeta Favela leva o leitor para uma viagem ao redor do mundo pelos realidade dos cenários de pobreza onde vive a maioria dos habitantes das megacidades do século XXI. ;;O urbanista norte-americano Mike Davis investiga as origens do crescimento vertiginoso da população em moradias precárias a partir dos anos 80 na América Latina, na África, na Ásia e no antigo bloco soviético. Combinando erudição acadêmica e conhecimento in loco das áreas pobres das grandes cidades, Davis traz a história da expansão das metrópoles do Terceiro Mundo, analisando os paralelos entre as políticas econômicas e urbanas defendidas pelo FMI e pelo Banco Mundial e suas conseqüências desastrosas nas gecekondus de Istambul (Turquia), nas desakotas de Accra (Gana) ou nos barrios de Caracas (Venezuela), alguns dos nomes locais para as aproximadamente 200 mil favelas existentes no planeta. ;;Cada aspecto dessa “nova cidade" é analisado: informalidade, desemprego, criminalidade; o gangsterismo dos senhorios que lucram com a miséria; a incapacidade do Estado de oferecer infra-estrutura e casas populares, e em contrapartida sua atuação nas remoções de “revitalização” que abrem caminho para a especulação imobiliária; as soluções ilusórias de ONGs e organismos multilaterais; os limites das estratégias de titulação de propriedade, os riscos ambientais e sanitários de se viver em favelas, com exposição a resíduos tóxicos e carência de saneamento básico; o crescimento do fanatismo religioso; e a disseminação de doenças como cólera e AIDS. ;;Além das estatísticas, o autor revela as histórias trágicas que os dados frios não mostram, como as crianças abandonadas pelas famílias nas ruas de Kinshasa (Congo), por serem consideradas “feiticeiras”, ou a nuvem de gás letal expelida pela fábrica da Union Carbide na Índia, que causou a morte de aproximadamente 22 mil habitantes de barracos nos arredores da unidade da empresa, que não tinham informação sobre os riscos ou opção de morar em outro local. ;;O livro traça um retrato da nova geografia humana das metrópoles, onde algumas “ilhas de riqueza” florescem em torres de escritório ou condomínios fortificados que imitam os bairros do subúrbio norte-americano, separados da crescente população favelada por muros e exércitos privados, mas conectados entre si por auto-estradas, aeroportos, redes de comunicação e pelo consumo das marcas globais. Como coloca o autor, citando, entre outros, Alphaville, enclaves constituídos como “parques temáticos” deslocados da sua realidade social mas integrados na globalização, onde se deixa de ser cidadão do seu próprio país para ser um “patriota da riqueza, nacionalista de um afluente e dourado lugar-nenhum”, como os classifica o urbanista Jeremy Seabrook, citado no livro. ;;Davis explora a natureza desse novo contexto do conflito de classes, entre os que vivem dentro dos muros como em uma “cidade medieval”, e a “humanidade excedente”, que vive fora dela. Um “proletariado informal”, ainda não compreendido pelo marxismo clássico e tampouco pelo neoliberalismo.

An acceptable diversion. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Perfectly average.
