Cities of Entanglements: Social Life in Johannesburg and Maputo Through Ethnographic Comparison
How do people live together in cities shaped by inequality? This comparative ethnography of two African cities, Maputo and Johannesburg, presents a new narrative about social life in cities often described as sharply divided.
