Delivery As Dispossession: Land Occupation And Eviction In The Postapartheid City (Global And Comparative Ethnography)

In Dispossession as Delivery, Zachary Levenson explains why post-Apartheid South Africa continues to evict land occupations. Levenson shows that the government does this in the name of preserving the order they imagine is necessary to deliver housing to its citizens. Based upon a decade of participant observation in two land occupations in Cape Town, this book provides a novel, relational understanding about group formation and how collective actionsinteract with the state.
