Beschreibung
The essays in this volume all circle around questions of
urbanisation in (post-)apartheid South Africa and its
effects on the country’s socio-political realities as well
as its representation in, and effect on, the country’s
literary and artistic production. (South) Africa’s
continuous urbanisation is expressed in the title of this
book: `Cities in Flux’. The contributions account for the
constant flow of people (not only into, within, and out of a
city, but also between different cities), the continuously
changing conditions (both physical and immaterial as well as
past and present) of (South) Africa’s urban areas, and these
shifting conditions’ effects on (South) Africa’s cities.
