Abstract
:
"In 1960, apartheid's planners created the 'Indian' township of Chatworth, evicting people from established neighbourhoods around Durban and forcibly settling them into the grid of a modern racial ghetto. Making home within this architecture of exclusion, along streets without names, tens of thousands of new residents begin building new lives and new communities, developing an urban space with a unique cultural vibrancy born of creativity and economic struggle."--P. [4] of cover.
