"Dispossessed relates the very human, and very moving, stories of families living today on the fringes of Manila, Nairobi, Mexico City, Bangkok and Cairo. The people tell about their lives and struggles, their hopes and fears. Mark Kramer also introduces the reasons behind this growing urbanization and its far-reaching consequences."--BOOK JACKET.
