City Life from Jakarta to Dakar : Movements at the Crossroads
Simone, AbdouMaliq
City Life from Jakarta to Dakar : Movements at the Crossroads / AbdouMaliq Simone - UK; NY; Routledge; 2009 - 406p; 20x13cm - Global Realities- A Routledge Series. Edited by Charles C. Lemert .
Chapter One: From the Periphery Chapter Two: Big cities, big projects, big problems Chapter Three: On anticipatory politics Chapter Four: Economies of interchange and speculation in Jakarta and Phnom Penh Chapter Five: Where Did the Cities Go?—Going beyond the periphery in West and Central Africa Chapter Six: Linking cities in Asia and Africa Chapter Seven: Virtual urbanisms
City Life from Jakarta to Dakar focuses on the politics incumbent to this process – an "anticipatory politics" – that encompasses a wide range of practices, calculations and economies. As such, the book is not a collection of case studies on a specific theme, not a review of developmental problems, nor does it marshal the focal cities as evidence of particular urban trends. Rather, it examines how possibilities, perhaps inherent in these cities all along, are materialized through the everyday projects of residents situated in the city and the larger world in very different ways.
