According to UN research data, by 2030 half of the world's
population will be living in slums. Meanwhile, in Durban, residents
of Forman and Kennedy Road settlements risk arrest and police
violence to protest forced eviction and demand clean drinking water
and sanitation. The statistics are not supposed to talk back. This
issue of Mute, largely sparked by Mike Davis' claim that in the
megaslums Muhammad and the Holy Ghost have superceded Marx,
considers another view of the world's burgeoning 'naked cities'.
Where the populace are refugees without rights or basic amenities,
are new forms of political action emerging? Texts by: Amita
Baviskar, Iain Boal, Anna Dezeuze, Michael Edwards, Melanie
Gilligan, Anthony Iles, Demetra Kotouza, Penny Koutrolikou,
Josaphat Robert Large, Felix Morisseau-Leroy, Kevin Pina, Richard
Pithouse, Benedict Seymour and Rachel Weber
