{"product_id":"claiming-the-city-in-south-meg-samuelson-9781032004389","title":"Claiming the City in South African Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book demonstrates the insights that literature brings to transdisciplinary urban studies, and particularly to the study of cities of the South. Starting from the claim staked by mining capital in the late nineteenth century and its production of extractive and segregated cities, it surveys over a century of writing in search of counterclaims through which the literature reimagines the city as a place of assembly and attachment. Focusing on how the South African city has been designed to funnel gold into the global economy and to service an enclaved minority, the study looks to the literary city to advance a contrary emphasis on community, conviviality and care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn accessible and informative introduction to literature of the South African city at significant historical junctures, this book will also be of great interest to scholars and students in urban studies and Global South studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meg Samuelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103200438X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032004389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge Chapman \u0026amp; Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.27d","brand":"Meg Samuelson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44583916208383,"sku":"9781032004389","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ad5f898-1cd0-411c-94c1-51dc81a065e2.jpg?v=1701884240","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/claiming-the-city-in-south-meg-samuelson-9781032004389","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
