Marc Epprecht is professor in the Department of Global Development Studies at Queen's University, co-editor with S.N. Nyeck of Sexual Diversity in Africa: Politics, Theory, and Citizenship, and author of Hungochani: The History of a Dissident Sexuality in Southern Africa.

"Evocatively written, Welcome to Greater Edendale speaks to and resolutely engages with debates in South African and international historiography on social medicine, public health, the environment, gender, segregation, race, and local politics." Stephen Rockel, University of Toronto "Welcome to Greater Edendale by Marc Epprecht occupies a complex political position. Its empirical methodological principles are conservative. Yet the author's political, social, and environmental sympathies tend toward the radical in more than one direction: the book aims to decolonize historical understandings, overturn nationalist narratives, and challenge pro-growth economic thinking. Some parts of this tight study of a little-known place can only be appreciated by specialists, but the mix of radical, liberal, and conservative demands close attention and deserves serious discussion."
