The ability to function safely, healthily, and productively in
urban places is a continuing challenge for people everywhere. This
challenge is exacerbated when the resources available to people in
urban places happen to be severely limited or their ability to make
decisions consistent with their welfare severely constrained.
Nevertheless, Africans have manifested great inventiveness and
resourcefulness both in contributing to, and in adapting to,
urbanization. Africa's Legacies of Urbanization is the culmination
of several decades of research, travel, and teaching. Goodwin
provides an interdisciplinary and up-to-date look at African cities
and the urbanization process. This thought provoking and engaging
work tackles the vastness of the 'mother continent' by dividing it
into geographic regions: western, central, southern, eastern, and
northeastern. Beginning with an overview of the urban experience in
Africa, Goodwin then studies the histories of urbanization in the
various regions of the continent. Thoroughly researched and
accessibly written, this comprehensive work will appeal to scholars
of African studies, urban studies, anthropology, and cultural
ecology.
