In this groundbreaking book, Myers uses African urban concepts and experiences to speak back to theoretical and practical concerns. It argues for a re-visioning - a seeing again, and a revising - of how cities in Africa are discussed and written about in both urban studies and African studies.<br /> <br /> Cities in Africa are still either ignored - banished to a different, other, lesser category of not-quite cities - or held up as examples of all that can go wrong with urbanism in much of the mainstream and even critical urban literature. Myers instead encourages African studies and urban studies scholars across the world to engage with the vibrancy and complexity of African cities with fresh eyes. Touching on a diverse range of cities across Africa, the book uses the author's own research and a close reading of works by other scholars, writers and artists to highlight a number of themes - from postcolonialism to cosmopolitanism - that help illuminate what is happening in and across the region's cities.</div> &nbsp;</div> <b>Garth Andrew Myers</b> is Director of the Kansas African Studies Centre and Professor in the Departments of Geography and African/African-American Studies at the University of Kansas.</div> &nbsp;</div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage Africa Afrique cosmopolitisme informal city Myers Garth post-colonial city ville informelle ville postcoloniale
