Publisher's Synopsis

Argues that working toward greater socioeconomic equality - access to food, housing, land, jobs - is crucial to achieving a successful and sustainable democracy. Drawing on interviews with local residents and activists in South Africa's impoverished townships during more than a decade of dramatic political change, this tracks the development of community organising and reveals the shifting challenges faced by poor citizens.
