Focusing on South Africa's three main cities - Johannesburg, Cape
Town, and Durban - this book explores South African urban history
from the late nineteenth century onwards. In particular, it
examines the metropolitan perceptions and experiences of both black
and white South Africans, as well as those of visitors, especially
visitors from Britain and North America. Drawing on a rich array of
city histories, travel writing, novels, films, newspapers, radio
and television programs, and oral histories, Vivian Bickford-Smith
focuses on the consequences of the depictions of the South African
metropolis and the 'slums' they contained, and especially on how
senses of urban belonging and geography helped create and reinforce
South African ethnicities and nationalisms. This ambitious and
pioneering account, spanning more than a century, will be welcomed
by scholars and students of African history, urban history, and
historical geography.
