Slums are one of the unfortunate features of modern life, all over the world. People from the country, that had been agricultural workers, are moving to the cities in vast numbers. And settling in the slums there, because they are the cheapest places to live.
In the US, there are Chicano slums and black slums - and they do not mix. And there is the reaction to this - the white men (and their women) who live everywhere, who feel threatened by the numerous disadvantaged - and do not want them to become organized.
This is complicated by religious movements, such as the Evangelicals, who appeal to the poor - but are also intolerant of those who are sexually deviant.
