City of Extremes: The Spatial Politics of Johannesburg (Politics, History, and Culture)
“[T]his is a book that should be read with attentiveness. It traces the lines of a city in which profound daily violence and suffering coexist with theatrical excess. It shows in convincing breadth that although the living conditions of suburban enclaves and those who dwell in abandoned buildings of the inner city may be ‘worlds apart,’ they are also closely connected to one another, and part of the same historical and economic processes.” - Matthew Wilhelm-Solomon,Mail and Guardian
