[URBANTH-L]displacement and migration in Africa

[Barbara Rose Johnston]

RE: the post on displacement in Africa - there is 
a large body of work associated with involuntary 
displacement from large infrastructure 
development. When you add up the numbers I 
suspect you will find that post-world war II 
infrastructure development (in the name of 
poverty alleviation!) is perhaps single largest 
contribution to urban poverty, rise of the 
supercity, and related loss of cultural diversity 
in the rural regions of our world.

Some works the reflect the coninuum of perspectives are listed below.
