Imagining the City: Memories and cultures in Cape Town

The overriding strength of this book is that it places ordinary people at the centre of memory, historical and contemporary experience, and thus at the centre of re-imagining and owning the city of Cape Town. It is as they speak what they choose to say and what they choose to remain silent about that we become aware of the city’s possibilities if it really did embrace all its people in all of their diversity. From the Foreword by Mike van Graan, playwright and arts activist
