Un racconto insolito dellimmigrazione scritto da Piazza Vittorio; il porto di Roma; il luogo dove arrivano gli uomini e le navi del mondo. Si parla di uomini e fiori; di feste e di identitagrave;; e non di reati o devianza.Ho visto uomini inizia con le elezioni comunali del 2008; dalla nebbia impregnata di razzismo di quei giorni di feroce campagna elettorale xenofoba. Da quel momento lintercultura diventeragrave; un tabugrave;; e la piazza piugrave; multietnica dItalia saragrave; terra di reconquista.

The sordid story of American suburbiaBy The KodachromeguyThis is a readable and enlightening history of the American phenomena of suburbia; from the mid-1800s to the 1970s. It clearly shows how the government and communities subsidized builders and developers; who; in turn; left it up to taxpayers to support the cost of new streets; sewers; schools; and all the other infrastructure needed to support ever-expanding suburbs. The book could have done a more thorough job of explaining how the funds that went to suburbs ended up leaving cities impoverished; with the result that schools; security; and infrastructure suffered. Also; the author could have described the terrible environmental toll as thousands of square miles of McMansion ghettos devoured farms; deserts and forests. The housing orgy of the 2000-2007 era was an extreme manifestation of the trend that has been ongoing since the 1800s.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great text on the subjectBy Anna KSuper easy read; even if youre not studying the history of American suburbanization. Its written for both a popular and academic audience; though its not the most academic text Ive read on the matter. Hayden draws some great conclusions at the end and pulls the narrative to present day American housing habits. Overall; its a great text if youre building a body of work on housing; urbanization; and suburban culture.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerCheap and good.
