摘要

More than a million migrants have arrived at the urban peripheries of Bogotá, Colombia, since the 1980s. Most are displaced people fleeing rural violence and many settle on the precarious, muddy hillsides of Ciudad Bolívar, the largest and poorest of Bogotá's southern peripheries. In Endangered city, Austin Zeiderman argues that a novel political technology governs these informal settlements:the production of endangerment as a 'durative and open-ended' (p. ix) condition of urban life to be governed through the anticipation of future harm.
