| Summary: | The Agonistic City? is an exploration of post-apartheid Johannesburg's city administration's governance of conflict from 1996 to the present day, as it relates to service delivery protests and shifts in ciry policy. 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. The book provides a profound understanding of the facets of these protests: from the local state's qualification of the conflicts, its portrayals of protestors, its agonistic and antagonistic responses to protestors' claims, to the power dynamics involved, and the forms of agreement reached--back cover. |
