It discusses the evolution of Third World citie, the nature of urban and regional disparities within countries, the causes and patterns of rural-urban migration, the structure of urban labour markets and the lack of productive employment, the urban housing market and popular responses to it, urban ways of life and the adaption of migrants, various patterns of political conflict, and current issues in urban and regional planning.

Most people in developing countries live in cities, and by the end of the decade only the poorest cities in Africa and Asia will be predominantly rural. In this fully revised and updated edition, the authors describe the urbanization of poverty as well as reasons for migration to the city, urban survival skills, and the level of political involvement of migrants.

In African Film: Re-imagining a Continent, Josef Gugler provides an introduction to African cinema through an analysis of 15 films made by African filmmakers. These directors set out to re-image Africa; their films offer Western viewers the opportunity to re-imagine the continent and its people. As a point of comparison, two additional films on Africa―one from Hollywood, the other from apartheid South Africa―serve to highlight African directors’ altogether different perspectives. 
Gugler’s interpretation considers the financial and technical difficulties of African film production, the intended audiences in Africa and the West, the constraints on distribution, and the critical reception of the films.
