Urban Spoliation, by Lúcio Kowarick, English version
Through the link below, the Center for Metropolitan Studies (CEM) provides access for the first time to a full English edition of the book Urban Spoliation, free of charge. This book by Lúcio Kowarick is one of the most classic works of Latin American urban studies, with a transdisciplinary approach that connects and articulates political science, sociology, urbanism.
Through a text that is simultaneously sophisticated, eloquent and succinct, Kowarick performed pioneering work in articulating the then authoritarian political regime, its economic model, the production of space in the city of São Paulo and the resulting living conditions.
The publishing of this book by CEM began with the initiative of prof. Mathew Richmond of the University of Newcastle, and later gained support by the Brazilian Political Science Association (ABCP). We hope that this new edition will contribute to a wider international dissemination of the pioneering ideas contained therein.
Good reading!
