Johannesburg is Africa's premier metropolis. Yet theories of urbanization have tended to cast it as an emblem of irresolvable crisis, the spatial embodiment of unequal economic relations and segregationist policies, a city that responds to but does not contribute to modernity on the global scale. Complicating and contesting such characterizations, the contributors to this collection reassess classic theories of metropolitan modernity as they explore the experience of 'citiness' and urban life in post-apartheid South Africa. They portray Johannesburg as a polycentric and international city with a hybrid history that continually permeates the present. Turning its back on rigid rationalities of planning and racial separation, Johannesburg has become a place of intermingling and improvisation, a city that is fast developing its own brand of cosmopolitan culture. The volume's essays include and investigation of representation and self-stylisation in the city, and ethnographic examination of frictions zones and practices of social reproduction in inner-city Johannesburg, and a discussion of the economic and litereary relationship between Johannesburg and Maputo, Mozambique's capital. One contributor considers how Johannesburg's cosmopolitan sociability enabled the anti-colonial projects of Ghandi and Mandela. Journalists, artists, architects, writers and scholars bring contemporary Johannesburg to life in ten short pieces which include reflections on music and megamalls, nightlife, living as foreigners in the city, and built spaces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wits University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34992741744802,"sku":"","price":420.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/elus.jpg?v=1594032356"},{"product_id":"reversing-urban-inequality-in-johannesburg-paperback-melissa-tandiwe-myambo","title":"Reversing Urban Inequality In Johannesburg (Paperback) Melissa Tandiwe Myambo","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780367111106\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoutledge, 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft Cover, 168 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the spread of capitalism - a socio-economic system that produces both wealth and poverty simultaneously - the spatial dynamics of the \"global(izing)\" city are creating more division between social classes, not less.

The promulgation of the Native (Urban) Areas Act of 1923 was intended to meet these objectives. The Act was a hybrid piece of legislation. On the one hand, it espoused the principles enunciated by the Stallard Commission of 1922, which had infamously declared that an African 'should only be allowed into the urban areas, which are essentially the white man's creation, when he is willing to enter and minister to the needs of the white man, and should depart therefrom when he ceases so to minister'. On the other hand, when it empowered local authorities to set aside land for black residential purposes, it recognised the need to create conditions for the settlement of an urban African population in order to provide a reliable supply of labour to secondary industry. The growing demand for housing led the government to establish Orlando (named after the chairman of the Native Affairs Committee, Edwin Orlando Leake) in 1931, when thousands of African families were evicted from urban slums in and around the city centre and moved there. The authorities described this as a 'model native township' that was supposedly planned along the lines of a garden city. The new location, it promised, would be characterised by tree-lined streets, business opportunities and recreation facilities. Reflecting the views of a somewhat conservative section of the African urban elite, the popular African newspaper Bantu World predicted on 14 May 1932 that the new township 'will undoubtedly be somewhat of a paradise [that] will enhance the status of the Bantu within the ambit of progress and civilisation'. Orlando West, Soweto illuminates the genesis of Orlando township and its well-known subsequent history, which is inextricably linked with the lives of prominent South Africans such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, amongst many others. A beautiful photographic essay complements the testimony from residents, who describe the way things were, and the way they are now, in the heart of Soweto, South Africa's most iconic African township.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wits University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35019829477538,"sku":"","price":275.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/orl.jpg?v=1594120079"},{"product_id":"vaya-untold-stories-of-johannesburg-the-people-and-stories-that-inspired-the-award-winning-film-paperback-harriet-perlman-sarah-charlton-contributions-by-david-majoka-anthony-mafela-madoda-ntuli-tshabalira-lebakeng-photographs-by-mark-lewis","title":"Vaya: Untold Stories Of Johannesburg - The People And Stories That Inspired The Award-Winning Film (Paperback) Harriet Perlman, Sarah Charlton","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781928333074\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBookstorm, 2017\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft Cover, 136 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVaya\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e the film is based on the lives of four young men from the Homeless Writer’s Project: David Majoka, Anthony Mafela, Madoda Ntuli and Tshabalira Lebakeng, and rooted in their experiences of coming to Johannesburg. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eVaya\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e the book brings you the people and stories that inspired the award-winning film.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The book provides a rare lens into life on the margins of Johannesburg.

Formulated by Mohandas Gandhi in the early 1900s, the philosophy of Satyagraha (soul force or passive resistance) became an inspiration to millions all over the world. For a decade, during the formative years of his philosophy, Gandhi lived in and around Johannesburg where he established a prosperous law practice, though his legal work was soon overtaken by his political activism in support of Indian rights. During that decade, he made the streets and suburbs of the city his own, changing homes frequently and walking tirelessly. Tolstoy Farm and other places and buildings captured in words and pictures in this evocative book are landmarks of Ghandi's personal and political growth. The sites featured span huge social divides, from slums and shanties of the old Indian Location to the comfortable suburbs reserved for whites.

A post-apartheid creation lying to the north of Johannesburg, Diepsloot is talked about as a place of fear, vigilante justice, xenophobic violence and a haven for criminals and undocumented foreigners. Respected journalist Anton Harber spent several months there, meeting the people, drinking in the taverns and probing the bitter local political battles.

He interviewed city officials, asking them why so little progress was being made in developing Diepsloot. He investigated why the much-needed police station stands unfinished. Amidst the poverty, violence and chaos, he found a bustling place much loved by its inhabitants, and an active economy with all the associated hustling and trading. He found people who, when neglected by the state, made their own solutions. \"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44813049102498,"sku":"","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/images_93a0abed-4ed0-4e83-8eac-0f361fb0c058.jpg?v=1722333995"},{"product_id":"bleakness-light-inner-city-transition-in-hillbrow-johannesburg-by-alan-morris","title":"Bleakness \u0026 Light: Inner-city Transition in Hillbrow, Johannesburg by Alan Morris","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781868143337\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWitwatersrand Univ Press, 1 January 1999\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback, 417 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44975320203426,"sku":"","price":395.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/download_2379339e-6938-4256-a98f-e0631ae03289.jpg?v=1728376892"},{"product_id":"alexandra-a-backstory-solam-mkhabela","title":"Alexandra: A Backstory Solam Mkhabela","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781431435319\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Jacana Media, October 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback, 109 pp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlexandra: A Backstory is a powerful graphic novel that uncovers the hidden history of Alexandra Township, a vibrant and resilient community nestled in Johannesburg.

As such it has always been vibrant and in a constant state of flux. Grame Williams initially started photographing the area in the nineties when racial segregation laws were being lifted and black South Africans had begun moving from the outlying townships to the city. During the past two decades, simultaneous to white people vacating the inner city, increasingly the area has become home to new immigrants from all over Africa. The city’s increasing social polarizations have resulted in him being an outsider in a neighborhood that is less than 10 minutes’ drive from his home. This has allowed Williams to transform his engagement with the subject from the viewpoint of the local to that of the foreigner.

With 300 pages of full-color photographs and mesmerizing text, Gerald Garners newest guide to Jozi burg celebrates the city's many hidden gems. Spaces \u0026amp; Places 2.0  Joburg Places isn't merely an updated and reprinted version of the first book. Instead it is completely new, rewritten and repackaged with loads of new content and photographs. In the last two years Johannesburg has established itself firmly on the international tourism map as an exciting destination. Recent proof of this includes articles in Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, GlobalPost and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Only a month ago USA-based international travel magazine, AFAR hosted its weeklong annual experience for 40 intrepid travelers in Johannesburg. Garner has also seen this trend in the growing interest in his already popular Joburg Places inner-city walking tours. With so much interest in Jozi burg and with a whole gamut of new establishments having opened since 2010, Garner seized the opportunity to publish a new, up-to-date and contemporary guide to the city. For this reason Spaces \u0026amp; Places 2.0 – Joburg Places contains 221 pages on the inner-city alone, where-as the first Spaces \u0026amp; Places book included only109 pages on the inner-city. Spaces \u0026amp; Places 2.0 – JoburgPlaces focuses on different Joziburg nodes, providing essential insider’s knowledge on how to make the most of your time in this extraordinary city. It puts the spotlight on the extraordinary spaces and places of this bustling metropolis. By devouring both the text and full-colour photographs in Spaces \u0026amp; Places 2.0 – JoburgPlaces you will be empowered to venture out confidently in order to experience the incredible pulse, people and places of the city. Discover the city’s energetic heartbeat and its tranquil havens – ranging from nature areas and parks to cafes on sun-drenched sidewalks. Gerald Garner reveals the spaces and places of Johannesburg’s glorious inner-city, its northern nodes, village streets, vibrant townships and verdant suburbs in the quintessential guide to the city. Written in a personal and subjective style, Garner travels with you to his favourite Jozi places. In the process you gain incredible insight into the richness and diversity of the places, people and spaces. You will be astonished! Go out and explore...
