Africa’s No 1 Arts Bookstore and Publisher

Lindsay Bremner leads us to realise implicitly how far Johannesburg still is from the status of a modern and cosmopolitan metropolis. She takes her readers by the hand and shows them around building sites, derelict buildings, reporting the speech of politicians, architects, urban planning authorities and the words of ordinary people, users or citizens concerned by the becoming of their city and by what its unity is made of. The Authors ability to reproduce a kaleidoscope city is one of the strengths of this book. Bremner achieves the amazing feat fo depicting a city, avoiding numerous cliches given to Johannesburg by many a commentator. This is done in a simple language that succeeds nevertheless in restoring Johannesburg’s complexity. Achille Mbembe, Research professor in history and politics, University of the Witswatersrand.
