This thought-provoking book is an exploration of the ways religion
and diverse forms of mobility have shaped post-apartheid
Johannesburg, South Africa. It analyses transnational and local
migration in contemporary and historical perspective, along with
movements of commodities, ideas, sounds and colours within the
city. It re-theorizes urban 'super-diversity' as a plurality of
religious, ethnic, national and racial groups but also as the
diverse processes through which religion produces urban space. The
authors argue that while religion facilitates movement, belonging
and aspiration in the city, it is complicit in establishing new
forms of enclosure, moral order and spatial and gendered control.
Multi-authored and interdisciplinary, this edited collection deals
with a wide variety of sites and religions, including Christianity,
Islam, Hinduism and Judaism. Its original reading of post-apartheid
Johannesburg advances global debates around religion, urbanization,
migration and diversity, and will appeal to students and scholars
working in these fields.
