by Daniel F. Doeppers
Part of the New Perspectives in Southeast Asian Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Getting food, water, and services to the millions who live in the world’s few dozen megacities is one of the twenty-first century’s most formidable challenges.
This innovative history traces nearly a century in the life of the megacity of Manila to show how it grew and what sustained it.
Focusing on the city’s key commodities—rice, produce, fish, fowl, meat, milk, flour, coffee—Daniel F.
Doeppers explores their complex interconnections, the changing ecology of the surrounding region, and the social fabric that weaves together farmers, merchants, transporters, storekeepers, and door-to-door vendors.
