| Summary |
This book examines one of the most prominent social movements to have emerged in Africa in the 21st century, Abahlali baseMjondolo. It asks: how are poor people in South Africa confronting the persistent legacy of apartheid geographies and anti-blackness? And what can movements across the world engaged in a global struggle against racial capitalism learn from the South African experience? Thinking at the intersection of Marxism, the black radical tradition, and movement theory from across the global south, Ruptures in the Afterlife of the Apartheid City offers refreshing theoretical insights based on the local realities of the struggle for land, housing, and dignity in the city of Durban. Yousuf Al-Bulushi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Global and International Studies at the University of California, Irvine, USA |
