SPRING 1979 61 Here and There: Some Peruvian and Some Colombian Theatre
SPRING 1979 61 Here and There: Some Peruvian and Some Colombian Theatre WOLFGANG A. LUCHTING Lima must today be one of the saddest cities in the world, even a depressing one in the winter months (June through November, more or less). The traveller reaching its airport with its meaningless but duplicate entry-formalities, and its painfully disorganized, even chaotic customs area, is overwhelmed immediately by the melancholy of Peru's capital: the grey and dreary sky, the polluted air, the clammy, cold and yet sweaty air, the dirt and the public carelessness about it visible all over, the few green areas strewn with what look like the contents of trash-cans or trampled down as with a vengeance into a brownish, bare, and sticky sod. And everywhere poverty. The old center of Lima (Plaza San Martin and its surroundings) has become one huge, sprawling and spilling mass of carts dispensing cheap food and leaving behind them nightly an ankle-deep, slimy, and pestiferous morass. No surprise that the smell of cooking-oil ("Coci nero, de los buenos el primero") pervades the city at all hours. And then there is of course the noise of all the thousands of cars honking their horns porque sí, the street manifestations, dispersed by the ominous-looking, water-shooting ar mored cars, and the countless street vendors selling simply everything, and then some, and occupying the sidewalks in such breadth that the pedestrian has to maneuver most skill- and carefully so as not to step on one chuchería or another. In a way, these vendedores ambulantes are the most admirable people of Lima: over many years, none of the so many and repeated police actions against them has ever been able to remove them and give the streets, not even the most central ones, back to the pedestrians. -

Executive Summary Upfront costs are a chronic barrier to electric vehicle sales, even for electric vehicles that have a lower total cost of ownership than the fossil fueled vehicles they replace. This barrier is particularly acute in the global market for electric transit buses, which is a priority for public health and climate action in many leading cities. -
Urban Forced Removals in Rio De Janeiro and Los Angeles: North-South Similarities in Race and City
\\jciprod01\productn\I\IAL\44-2\IAL207.txt unknown Seq: 1 1-NOV-13 13:43 337 Urban Forced Removals in Rio de Janeiro and Los Angeles: North-South Similarities in Race and City Constance G. Anthony1 In April of 2010, Rio de Janeiro’s mayor, Eduardo Paes, announced that two in-city, poor, and largely Afro-Brazilian neighborhoods, Morro dos Prazeres and Laboriaux, would be cleared and all inhabitants would be forced to move.2 Despite dev- astating winter storms, which had indicated again the precarious- ness of Rio’s hillside favelas, this was not really new news.3 Rio’s favelas have experienced a century of forced removal.4 The early neighborhoods were built in historically undesirable, beautiful, but steeply inaccessible parts of Rio, and today these are impor- tant pieces of Rio’s real estate.5 For more than a century, many such favelas have allowed poor, working class Afro-Brazilians immediate access to the city below.6 While there are incredible challenges with living in neighborhoods cut off from good, or in some cases even basic, city services and infrastructure, the resources of the city at large continued to make these neighbor- hoods highly desirable for those who lived, and as importantly, worked there.7 Cities across the globe use this mandate for the forced move- ment of poor populations out of in-city urban neighborhoods.8 1. Constance G. Anthony is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Seattle University. She received her PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. She has published a book on the politics of international aid and technology transfer with Columbia University Press, and articles on US science policy, refugees, and famine in Africa as well as the philosophical foundations of US interventionism.
