This city is divided between privileged Whites and various strata of Non-Whites: by deep social and economical cleavages and by factions within its City Council. Municipal boundaries and discriminatory laws cut arbitrarily across areas of common concern. Written from the viewpoint of an active participant in current events, this book analyzes the city both in the South African context and in relation to universal problems of urbanisation.
