Agonism's possibilities. 520 $a The Agonistic City? is an exploration of post-apartheid Johannesburg's city administration's governance of conflict from 1996 to the present day, as it relates to service delivery protests and shifts in ciry policy. The author, Li Pernegger, focuses in-depth on the water wars in Orange Farm, insurgent informal traders in the inner city, and the billing battle fought by the middle class. The book provides a profound understanding of the facets of these protests: from the local state's qualification of the conflicts, its portrayals of protestors, its agonistic and antagonistic responses to protestors' claims, to the power dynamics involved, and the forms of agreement reached--back cover. 650 0 $a Municipal government $z Johannesburg. $z Johannesburg. 650 0 $a Protest movements $z Johannesburg. $z Johannesburg. 651 0 $a Johannesburg (South Africa) $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Johannesburg (South Africa) $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Johannesburg (South Africa) $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Johannesburg (South Africa) $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Municipal government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029299 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Protest movements $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079826 650 7 $a Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a South Africa $z Johannesburg $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206332 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781786999054 830 0 $a Politics and society in urban Africa ; $v v. 3. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA8B6DACEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
