Recenzje

»The book is an invaluable contribution to urban anthropology and to urban studies in general, and will prove useful more widely across the humanities and social sciences.« Ellison Tjirera, Anthropology Southern Africa, 06.05.2022 »Das Buch ist [...] für all jene Stadtforscher_innen geeignet, die an African urbanism interessiert sind oder nach neuen theoretischen Konzepten als Werkzeuge kritischer Stadtforschung suchen.« Nicole Baron, sub urban, 9/1-2 (2021) »This very well-written book [...] addresses a number of critical questions to both urban studies and anthropology in doing so. This capacity and willingness to engage conventions within the two disciplines makes the book important, highly readable, and valuable to scholars well beyond those interested in the cities of Maputo and Johannesburg.« Bjorn Enge Bertelsen, Anthropos, 115 (2020) Besprochen in: ORLIS, 1 (2020) www.kommunalweb.de, 1 (2020)
