Johannesburg: a city of thieves and dreamers, home to more than four million inhabitants spread out over an area larger than greater London. The Joburg book is an engaging and authoritative history that follows the story of the city through its spaces and communities - from the city centre to Joburg's expanding suburbs. Former townships and growing number of informal settlements. With dedicated chapters about Lenasia, Alexandra and the Southern suburbs - together with Soweto, the CBD, Hilbrow, the far North and the central suburbs - it offers the most inclusive history of Johannesburg to date, written by comtemporary journalists and academics and featuring a selection of songs, poems and expert articles that give voice to the city's diverse peoples and reflect its shifting social landscapes.
