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.

What does friendship have to do with racial difference, settler colonialism and post-apartheid South Africa? While histories of apartheid and colonialism in South Africa have often focused on the ideologies of segregation and white supremacy, Ties that Bind explores how the intimacies of friendship create vital spaces for practices of power and resistance. Combining interviews, history, poetry, visual arts, memoir and academic essay, the collection keeps alive the promise of friendship and its possibilities while investigating how affective relations are essential to the social reproduction of power. From the intimacy of personal relationships to the organising ideology of liberal colonial governance, the contributors explore the intersection of race and friendship from a kaleidoscope of viewpoints and scales. Insisting on a timeline that originates in settler colonialism, Ties that Bind uncovers the implication of anti-blackness within nonracialism, and powerfully challenges a simple reading of the Mandela moment and the rainbow nation. In the wake of countrywide student protests calling for decolonisation of the university, and reignited debates around racial inequality, this timely volume insists that the history of South African politics has always already been about friendship. Written in an accessible and engaging style, Ties that Bind will interest a wide audience of scholars, students and activists, as well as general readers curious about contemporary South African debates around race and intimacy.

"Heimat" ist lange Zeit der Traum von Freiheit und kein bestimmter Ort: Sie wird im EXIL geboren, wächst in SWASILAND, SAMBIA, NAIROBI und KANADA auf, studiert in den USA.

Als Kind ist sie umgeben von Frauen, die sich keinen Deut um die Regeln scheren, die man sich für sie ausgedacht hat. Sie inspirieren und bestärken Sisonke Msimang darin, DIE FRAU ZU WERDEN, DIE SIE SEIN WILL. Ist ihr das gelungen? Und welche Bedeutung haben Heimat und Zugehörigkeit heute für sie?KEINE SCHEU VOR KOMPROMISSLOSER UND SCHMERZHAFTER SELBSTREFLEXIONSisonke Msimang erzählt von HOFFNUNG und VERTRAUEN, von ENTTÄUSCHUNG – von sich selbst, von ihren HELD*INNEN – und was das mit ihrem Selbstverständnis und ihrer Identität macht.

Sie HINTERFRAGT SICH MIT GROSSER OFFENHEIT, setzt sich immer wieder neu zusammen – um nie wieder das Gefühl haben zu müssen, Idole zu brauchen. Um am Ende – in all ihrer Vielseitigkeit und Widersprüchlichkeit – die HELDIN IHRER EIGENEN GESCHICHTE zu sein. Sie schreibt vom Wunsch, ihr fünfjähriges Ich von damals in den Arm nehmen zu können, um ihm zu sagen: DU KANNST ALLES ÜBERSTEHEN UND STÄRKER UND GLÜCKLICHER WERDEN, ALS DU DIR DAS AN DER SCHWELLE ZU JEDEM NEUEN LAND VORSTELLEN KANNST.WARMHERZIG, KÄMPFERISCH UND AUFRICHTIG: EIN BUCH WIE EIN RICHTIG GUTES GESPRÄCH MIT FREUND*INNENIn Sisonke Msimangs Leben prallen Länder, Träume, Menschen, Rückschläge, Ermutigendes, Ideale – ganze Welten aufeinander: Da sind HEIMWEH und Orientierungslosigkeit, aber auch das Gefühl von ZUGEHÖRIGKEIT, ZUSAMMENHALT und die VIELFALT DES ZWEITGRÖSSTEN KONTINENTS DER ERDE.
