By the mid-1980s, it is no longer necessary to underscore the importance of the study of migration and urbanization either in the Third World or specifically in Latin America. In the space of one generation, two hundred million people have moved from the countryside to the cities of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, while the number of Third World cities with populations of one million or more has grown from sixteen in 1950 to well over sixty today.' This phenomenon has stimulated the production of a vast literature that includes both in-depth monographic treatments and broad comparative work. Sketchy as they may sometimes be, the data available on poor urban communities in Latin America greatly exceed the material existing a decade or so ago, when the subject was first recognized as crucial. Now that scholars have more raw data, we are better able to focus on what analysts make of their material, how they manage or fail to fit it together in coherent explanatory models or useful theories
