  abstract = {{S}eeing urban politics from the perspective of those who reside in slums offers an important dimension to the study of urbanism in the global {S}outh. {M}any people living in sub-standard conditions do not have their rights as urban citizens recognised and realise that they cannot rely on formal democratic channels or governance structures. {T}hrough in-depth case studies and comparative research, {T}he {P}olitics of {S}lums in the {G}lobal {S}outh: {U}rban {I}nformality in {B}razil, {I}ndia, {S}outh {A}frica and {P}eru integrates conceptual discussions on urban political dynamics with empirical material from research undertaken in {R}io de {J}aneiro, {D}elhi, {C}hennai, {C}ape {T}own, {D}urban and {L}ima. {T}he chapters engage with the relevant literature and present empirical material on urban governance and cities in the {S}outh, housing policy for the urban poor, the politics of knowledge and social mobilisation. {R}ecent theories on urban informality and subaltern urbanism are explored, and the issue of popular participation in public interventions is critically assessed. {T}he book is aimed at a scholarly readership of postgraduate students and researchers in development studies, urban geography, political science, urban sociology and political geography. {I}t is also of great value to urban decision-makers and practitioners.},
