Making Freedom: Apartheid, Squatter Politics, and the Struggle for Home

Making Freedom: Apartheid, Squatter Politics and the Struggle for Home examines the status and meaning of the South African city under apartheid and immediately after the transition to democracy focusing on the ways in which matters of home-making, citizenship, work, and race critically intersected with the “urban,” and thereby came to constitute it as a strategic space in which marginal subjects, specifically, the black metropolitan poor, sought to make claims on the apartheid state.
