I've read the reviews by others. Their 'review titles' are all of what I would have used to title this book myself.
I loved this book. FAVELA is in my opinion a fundamental book to everyone who wants to understand this urban phenomenon.
"Favela" revisits and updates Janice Perlman's classic, "The Myth of Marginality." "Favela" is exceptionally good: a combination of empirical social science and ethnography that completes and extends her earlier work.

La banlieue fait peur: "événements", "révolte", "émeutes", "insurrection", notre incapacité à nommer ce qui s'est passé à l'automne 2005 montre notre malaise autant que la difficulté que nous éprouvons face à ce qui ne cesse d'interroger nos propres schém.
