Our first 102 reading assignment, Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell, dates back to 1933, but a Harper's article by Mike Davis connects the rise of mega-cities, slums, and global urban poverty directly to the current policies and forces of globalization.
Download the slums handout (Word doc) with brief quotes from this article. Also, you can read the entire text of Down and Out in Paris and London on-line.
