The Arts of Citizenship in African Cities Reviews

A valuable addition to a growing, interdisciplinary body of work that provides new avenues for thinking African urbanism to decolonize urban theory . this collection not only offers a range of nuanced historical and ethnographic studies of urban life, but also provides new insights and avenues for research on citizenship, infrastructures, and the built form. Perhaps most importantly, these essays enable us to think anew about the politics of cities and city-ness in Africa and beyond. (Antina von Schnitzler, American Ethnologist, Vol. 43 (2), 2016)
