In this vivid ethnography set in contemporary Peru, Susan Stokes provides a compelling analysis of the making and unmaking of class consciousness among the urban poor. Her research strategy is multifaceted; through interviews, participant observation, and survey research she digs deeply into the popular culture of the social activists and shantytown residents she studies. The result is a penetrating look at how social movements evolve, how poor people construct independent political cultures, and how the ideological domination of oppressed classes can shatter.This work is a new and vital chapter in the growing literature on the formation of social movements. It chronicles the transformation of Peru's poor from a culture of deference and clientelism in the late 1960s to a population mobilized for radical political action today.

Civil war usually has devastating consequences – it is development in reverse. As civil wars have accumulated and persisted, they have generated or intensified a significant part of the global poverty problem that is the World BankÂ's core mission to confront. Part of the purpose of this Report is to alert the international community to the adverse consequences of civil war for development. These consequences are suffered mostly by civilians, often by children and by those in neighboring countries. Those who take the decisions to start or to sustain wars are often relatively immune to their adverse effects. The international community therefore has a legitimate role as an advocate for those who are victims. The second reason why the World Bank should focus on civil war is that development can be an effective instrument for conflict prevention. The risk of civil war is much higher in low-income countries than in middle-income countries. Civil war thus reflects not just a problem for development, but a failure of development. The research yields three main findings. First, civil wars have highly adverse ripple effects that are obviously not taken into account by those who determine whether they start or end. Second, the risks of civil war differ massively according to a countryÂ's characteristics, including its economic characteristics. As a result, there is a conflict trap, and civil war is becoming increasingly concentrated in relatively few developing countries. The third finding is that feasible international actions could substantially reduce the global incidence of civil war.

Even though our government has had a long history in dealing with poverty, it has failed to produce consistent or coherent programs to eliminate poverty or alleviate its consequences, Judith Russell charges in this hardhitting analysis of the war on poverty. The book focuses on the genesis of the Economic Opportunity Act, conceived in 1963 and enacted in 1964, which constituted the core of President Kennedy and President Johnson's antipoverty crusade. Russell asserts that, the war on poverty could have been an inclusive program of government-sponsored jobs, job training, and job placement in conjunction with the private sector, but it was not. To support her thesis, she draws upon a treasure trove of archival sources, including newspapers and legal journals, party platforms, public opinion surveys, an interview and ten-year correspondence with former Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz, and the oral histories and other documents found in the Kennedy and Johnson Presidential Libraries.
