Initially built for `poor whites', Kenneth Gardens today is arguably one of the most socially diverse living spaces in the city. While the estate is significant in terms of its size, history and social make-up, very little has been written about it. This book provides a history of Kenneth Gardens through the oral history stories of its residents. It is a rich tapestry of narratives as told by people who resided in Kenneth Gardens during apartheid, those that moved into the estate when the Group Areas Act began to be defunct, as well as stories from residents who have more recently moved into the estate. Although this book is about Kenneth Gardens itself, it is also about the history of social housing, identity formation and change, urban planning, and state regulation. Many of the story tellers reveal intimate moments of struggle in their lives. But what emerges more strongly than vulnerability and hardship is embedded resilience and adaptability. Through the narratives we come to understand how a subsidised rental apartment becomes home, and how relative strangers can form a neighbourhood based on shared circumstances, proximity and an urban planning design that fosters familiarity and belonging. The narratives are accompanied by a unique photo essay created by acclaimed photographer Cedric Nunn. The authors invite readers to dwell in the everyday lives and memories of the people of Kenneth Gardens, and in so doing unravel the complexities of social housing, local government, regulation, urban identity politics and human agency. 610 20 $a Kenneth Gardens (Public housing) $x History. 650 0 $a Public housing $z Durban. $z Durban. 650 0 $a Poverty $z Durban. $z Durban. 700 1 $a Erwin, Kira, $e author. 700 1 $a Fleetwood, Tamlynn, $e author. 700 1 $a Nunn, Cedric, $e photographer. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120034501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=285DA0C22E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
