He examines both colonial rule and postcolonial inheritance in these cities, tracing the legacies of colonialism in different and divergent postcolonial settingsa revolutionary left-wing socialist state (Zanzibar) and a reactionary right-wing dictatorship (Malawi). In addition to the examination of urban plans and the African urban majority's responses to them, the book traces the experience of the urban planning process through three different ""verandahs of power,"" or levels of class depiction: the colonial power, the colonized middle, and the urban majority. Interspersed with personal stories, this book illuminates our understanding of the workings of power in African cities by addressing human experiences of that power.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: HistoryBook Series: Space, Place and SocietyTopic: Science Nature & Math, Society & Culture, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
