Sommario/riassunto |

The Spanish nation has been contested almost since its conception in the early nineteenth century, and the Spanish state has therefore been involved in perpetual conflicts between various nationalisms, particularly between different versions of Spanish nationalism as well as between Spanish majority nationalism and various minority nationalisms. At different times in history, the conflicts have revived and turned into organizing principles of the political communities in Spain, as communities in conflict or contention but, nevertheless, as communities providing the Spaniards with different senses of belonging. In recent times, both lines of contention have been activated again, and in this volume, we focus particularly on the conflict between majority and minority nationalism, which has been revived from approximately 2010 around the Catalan separatist conflict, but other sub-state identities are potentially conflictual as well. Both the state-wide - Spanish - as well as the sub-state actors try to develop feelings of territorial attachments to the Spanish political community or to the respective sub-state political communities, and both use emotions and feelings to secure support and to assert or claim sovereignty for the political community in question. The contributions in this volume shed light on various issues related to these questions. |

Sommario/riassunto |

How do people live together in cities shaped by inequality? This comparative ethnography of two African cities, Maputo and Johannesburg, presents a new narrative about social life in cities often described as sharply divided. Based on the ethnography of entangled lives unfolding in a township and in a suburb in Johannesburg, in a bairro and in an elite neighborhood in Maputo, the book includes case studies of relations between domestic workers and their employers, failed attempts by urban elites to close off their neighborhoods, and entanglements emerging in religious spaces and in shopping malls. Systematizing comparison as an experience-based method, the book makes an important contribution to urban anthropology, comparative urbanism and urban studies. |
»Das Buch ist [...] für all jene Stadtforscher_innen geeignet, die an African urbanism interessiert sind oder nach neuen theoretischen Konzepten als Werkzeuge kritischer Stadtforschung suchen.« |
»The book is an invaluable contribution to urban anthropology and to urban studies in general, and will prove useful more widely across the humanities and social sciences.« |
Besprochen in:ORLIS, 1 (2020)www.kommunalweb.de, 1 (2020) |
»This very well-written book [...] addresses a number of critical questions to both urban studies and anthropology in doing so. This capacity and willingness to engage conventions within the two disciplines makes the book important, highly readable, and valuable to scholars well beyond those interested in the cities of Maputo and Johannesburg.« |
