For once, this is not a book about 'transactional sex' or HIV. There is no moral panic over women having standards in their romantic lives, or easy clichés about women's desperation in the face of unrelenting African poverty In this book, Lebohang Masango explores how women in South Africa give meaning to aspiration, romance and love in their pursuit of the Soft Life. As demonstrated by women all over the world and all throughout history, who you date is as important for your material reality as your career path, how much you earn and where you live. The largely patriarchal social order has meant that dating and marriage are also ways women move up in the world. European luxury labels from head-to-toe, bags, expensive cars and luxury trips are social media staples. The socio-economic climate in South Africa along with rapidly evolving digital tech will ensure that the Soft Life ideal - love it or hate it - will not be a trend, even if it carries different names in the future.

An interdisciplinary account of the life of Johannesburg, South Africa's "global south city"Anxious Joburg focuses on Johannesburg, the largest and wealthiest city in South Africa, as a case study for the contemporary global South city. Global South cities are often characterised as sites of contradiction and difference that produce a range of feelings around anxiety. This is often imagined in terms of the global North's anxieties about the South: migration, crime, terrorism, disease and environmental crisis. Anxious Joburg invites readers to consider an intimate perspective of living inside such a city. How does it feel to live in the metropolis of Johannesburg: what are the conditions, intersections, affects and experiences that mark the contemporary urban?Scholars, visual artists and storytellers, all look at unexamined aspects of Johannesburg life. From peripheral settlements to the inner city to the affluent northern suburbs, from precarious migrants and domestic workers to upwardly mobile young women and fearful elites, Anxious Joburg presents an absorbing engagement with this frustrating, dangerous, seductive city. It offers a rigorous, critical approach to Johannesburg revealing the way in which anxiety is a vital structuring principle of contemporary life.The approach is strongly interdisciplinary, with contributions from media studies, anthropology, religious studies, urban geography, migration studies and psychology. It will appeal to students and teachers, as well as to academic researchers concerned with Johannesburg, South Africa, cities and the global South. The mix of approaches will also draw a non-academic audience.
