African Cities Reader 3: Land, Property & Value (April 2015)
The third installment of the African Cities Reader explores the unholy trinity of land, property and value – the life force of cities everywhere.
In an era of late modernity marked by a speculative compulsion that takes on a spectral character as it instigates adventures of city imagineering, deal-making and symbolic reinvestment, the material effects are often displacement, violence, daylight robbery and yet another round of elite seduction.
Contributors include Jean-Christophe Lanquetin, Jumoke Verissimo, Adolphus Opara, Ayodele Arigbabu, Hunter And Gatherer Collective, Jahman Anikulapo, Koni Benson, Faeza Meyer, Sean Christie, Anne Pitcher, Marissa Moorman, Göran Dahlberg, Matthew Wilhelm-Solomon and more.
