Delving deeply into \u003ci\u003eDistrict 9\u003c\/i\u003e, Raubenheimer brings to light the fascination that images of the city as nostalgic dystopia has held for filmmakers, photographers, viewers, and lovers of Johannesburg alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Landi Raubenheimer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004525432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004525436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Landi Raubenheimer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372269457663,"sku":"9789004525436","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f487510-87c0-4e1a-8a9a-68af6fb7e99b.jpg?v=1732725485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/district-9-landi-raubenheimer-9789004525436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
