"What if we rethink urban environments in the global South as ecotones? This is the question that this collection explores, across linguistic registers, and as an alternate way of approaching postcolonial cities in their intricate multi-dimensionalities. Specifically, the book proposes that we open conceptual repertoires of migratory ecotones, leaking and overlapping contact zones, volatile third spaces and heterotemporal matrices. By extension, the volume signals an exploration of what it might mean to think postcolonial cities in registers offered by water as much as land: estuaries, archipelagoes, intermediate zones of an intertidal fluidity in which the inequalities of their making reveal themselves in forms adapted to zones of transition. While there is yet more to explore at this watery conceptual interface, this book re-animates city form through a suggestive set of windows."
- Sarah Nuttall, Professor of Literary and Cultural Studies, WISER, University of the Witwatersrand and co-editor of Johannesburg: The Elusive Metropolis (Duke University Press).
'Reconfiguring the Postcolonial City décentre et corrige le concept de 'villes globales', en ancrant le regard au cœur des villes du Sud, offrant une autre compréhension du phénomène universel du « faire ville » et de son futur. Il met l’accent sur les mondes intermédiaires, les entre-deux incertains et les marges créatrices de sociabilité et de culture parfois même dans le dénuement et l’abandon institutionnel, faisant des « écotones » autant de « borderlands ». Enfin, il accède à la réalité sociale par la porte de la littérature. De Fort-de-France à Cape Town ou à Katiopa, des mondes chaotiques, cacophoniques et utopiques transmettent une énergie sociale vitale contre le fatalisme de l’effondrement."
- Michel Agier, auteur de Anthropologie de la ville, PUF, 2015
