Dispossessed: Life in Our World's Urban Slums

 
Share

According to the United Nations, more than one billion people live in urban slums, and this figure will double in the next 30 years. Put another way, one of every three people who lives in a city, lives in a slum. In this enlightening paperback, Mark Kramer, a journalist and social advocate, puts faces on people in dire straits in five cities: Manila, Nairobi, Mexico City, Bangkok, and Cairo.-- Review from www.spiritualityandpractice.com.
