Product Description
Review
"This is an extraordinary treatment of a difficult problem.... Much more than a conventional comparative study, City of Walls is a genuinely transcultural, transnational work." - George Marcus, author of Ethnography Through Thick and Thin "Caldeira's work is wonderfully ambitious - theoretically bold, ethnographically rich, historically specific. Anyone who cares about the condition and future of cities, of democracy, of human rights, should read this book." - Thomas Bender, Director of the Project on Cities and Urban Knowledges "City of Walls is a brilliant analysis of the dynamics of urban fear. The sophistication of Caldeira's arguments should stimulate new discussion of cities and urban life. Its significance goes far beyond the borders of Brazil." - Margaret Crawford, Harvard University"
Product Description
Teresa Caldeira's pioneering study of fear, crime, and segregation in Sao Paulo poses essential questions about citizenship and urban change in contemporary democratic societies. Focusing on Sao Paulo, and using comparative data on Los Angeles, she identifies new patterns of segregation developing in these cities and suggests that these patterns are appearing in many metropolises.

A good book, 30 Dec 2009
By Shannyn Bishop Snyder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City of Walls: Crime, Segregation and Citizenship in Sao Paulo (Paperback)
Needed the book for grad school. It was in good shape and easy to navigate. Caldiera gives a good sense of what life is like in Urban Brazil by looking at the world within the favelas of Sao Paolo.
