Product Information
This volume illuminates the complex and constantly shifting social dynamics of African city making and human survival today. It explores how African urban dwellers have had to find not only effective ways of pursuing their livelihoods and other aspirations within cities but also ways of managing their interactions with often more powerful economic and political interests that seek to impose particular uses of urban space. Amidst very different socio-cultural contexts in Dakar, Addis Ababa, Cape Town, Kisangani, Jos, Zaria, Cairo and Marrakesh, the research in this volume focuses on the diverse ways Africans negotiate novel spatial practices, political-economic processes, and social relations that entangle place, identity and power in urban sites. While historically familiar patterns linking countryside and city remain, these are constantly being reworked as African agency gives life to highly diverse urban formations which are further fashioned through the geographically uneven dynamics of globalization that articulate with locally specific histories, cultural practices, and political contingencies. The result is an emphasis in Africa on city making through fluid and rapidly changing institutional structures, informal agreements, and finding innovative ways to interweave various sectors and actors. Urban change, as a consequence, is not a process easily managed.

Reviews
"Argues that approaching African cities through normative ideas of urbanization only obscures how Africans have created their own paths and strategies to make cities work ... recommended." -- African Studies Review "Is urban life in Africa exceptional or is it another expression and reworking of universal urban modernity remolded and appropriated by Africans making their own lives in relation to and in spite of the myriad of structural and other constraints they face? This powerfully insightful book edited by Abdoumaliq Simone successfully brings out the rich and diverse complexity, ambivalence, resilience and variety of African urban lives and experiences. The book shows that there can be no simple, naive and monolithic explanations and interpretations. This is an important book that re-affirms the agency of ordinary African urban dwellers, while recognizing the often very difficult conditions of their existence but at the same time expressing the optimism and resilience that define African urban life." -- Tade Akin Aina, The Ford Foundation, Nairobi, 'Is urban life in Africa exceptional or is it another expression and reworking of universal urban modernity remolded and appropriated by Africans making their own lives in relation to and in spite of the myriad of structural and other constraints they face?
