After the end of the apartheid regime in the 1990s, South Africa
experienced a boom in new heritage and commemorative projects.
These ranged from huge new museums and monuments to small community
museums and grassroots memory work. At the same time, South African
cities have continued to grapple with the difficulties of
overcoming entrenched inequalities and divisions. Urban spaces are
deep repositories of memory, and also sites in need of radical
transformation. Remaking the Urban examines the intersections
between post-apartheid urban transformation and the politics of
heritage-making in divided cities, using the Nelson Mandela Bay
Metro in South Africa's Eastern Cape as a case study. Roux unpacks
the processes by which some narratives and histories become
officially inscribed in public space, while others are visible only
through alternative, ephemeral or subversive means. Including
discussions of the history of the Red Location Museum of Struggle;
memorialisation of urban forced removals; the heritage politics and
transformative potential of public art; and strategies for making
visible memories and histories of former anti-apartheid youth
activist groups in the city's townships, Roux examines how these
twin processes of memory-making and change have played out in
Nelson Mandela Bay. -- .
