A fairly comprehensive monograph, highly suitable for classroom use, that offers a wide range of information fit into traditional anthropological categories. . . . an interesting study of cultural integrity and pattern in a setting of what appears to be complex sociopolitical chaos. --American Anthropologist Whether or not one accepts Susan Lobo's optimistic analysis, her ability to translate the apparent chaos of shanty-town lives into such neat patterns and to help outsiders view life as the inhabitants do are important contributions. --Inter-American Review of Bibliography An extremely competent ethnography, simple and straightforward. --Anthropos A pleasure to read, a mine of information which will be useful in teaching students to formulate their own hypotheses. --International Journal of Urban & Regional Research Very well written and provides a great wealth of the liveliest sort of ethnographic detail. --Latin American Research Review Lobo's study of two squatter settlements in Lima provides a solid, well-written, detailed, traditional ethnography of poor families in a Third World urban setting. --Hispanic American Historical Review This well-written account . . . has a lot of heart and feeling for the human face of the urban poor. --International Migration Review| SKU | Unavailable |
