The author, Li Pernegger, focuses in-depth on the water wars in Orange Farm, insurgent informal traders in the inner city, and the billing battle fought by the middle class.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides deep insights into facets of protests: from the local state's qualification of the conflicts; its portrayals of protestors; its agonistic and antagonistic responses to protestors' claims; to power dynamics and the forms of agreement reached.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePernegger considers what the practical prospects of agonism might be for the local government to regard city strife in its practices of governance as a constructive - rather than destructive - force for change, and the realisation of democratic ideals for its ordinary citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Li Pernegger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786999102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786999108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.48d","brand":"Li Pernegger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074869424383,"sku":"9781786999108","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bab4346-30ea-4cf4-af01-b589ac9ef3f6.jpg?v=1685456250","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-agonistic-city-li-pernegger-9781786999108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
