As many cities became saturated with squatter settlements by the 1980s, it was expected that such invasions would wane. But the increased economic vulnerability and expansion of informal labor activity brought about by neoliberal government policies spurred yet more invasions. Their goals remained the same: reliable electricity, potable water, sewer drainage, and legal title to illegally acquired land. But changes in the economic and political...

Geschichte Altamerikas
ISBN: 9783486530322 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 397 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
