description: City Life from Jakarta to Dakar focuses on the politics incumbent to this process  an anticipatory politics  that encompasses a wide range of practices calculations and economies. As such the book is not a collection of case studies on a specific theme not a review of developmental problems nor does it marshal the focal cities as evidence of particular urban trends. Rather it examines how possibilities perhaps inherent in these cities all along are materialized through the everyday projects of residents situated in the city and the larger world in very different ways.
