Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 234 pp. First edition. Scholarly comparison of Manchester, England, and São Paulo, Brazil, with the text in English. Binding tight; boards clean; dust jacket pristine; a fine copy. Quoting the publisher's note: Nineteenth-century Manchester, the first great industrial city, and twentieth-century São Paulo, the premier industrial city of the Third World, are the two great paradigms of explosive urban growth under industrial capitalism. The nine papers in this book examine similarities and differences in the forces that shaped the two cities, in the process providing general insights into the conditions and consequences of rapid urbanization and industrialization. Among the topics covered are the responses of intellectuals and social critics to rapid social change, relations between city and hinterland, intercity economic dependency, urban migration, political strategies of governing elites, changes in police and legal systems, and the effects of urbanization and industrialization on religious movements and sports. Size: 23 x 16 cm. 0.0.
