Urban Africa: Changing Contours of Survival in the CityAbdou Maliqalim Simone, Abdelghani Abouhani Zed Books, 2005 - 305 من الصفحات This volume illuminates the complex and constantly shifting social dynamics of African city making and human survival today. It explores how African urban dwellers have had to find not only effective ways of pursuing their livelihoods and other aspirations within cities but also ways of managing their interactions with often more powerful economic and political interests that seek to impose particular uses of urban space. |
