The essays in this volume all circle around questions of urbanisation in (post-)apartheid South Africa and its effects on the country´s socio-political realities as well as its representation in, and effect on, the country´s literary and artistic production. (South) Africa´s continuous urbanisation is expressed in the title of this book: `Cities in Flux´. The contributions account for the constant flow of people (not only into, within, and out of a city, but also between different cities), the continuously changing conditions (both physical and immaterial as well as past and present) of (South) Africa´s urban areas, and these shifting conditions´ effects on (South) Africa´s cities.
