SUMMARY:Barbara Heer: Cities of Entanglements. Johannesburg and Maputo thro
 ugh Ethnographic Comparison
DESCRIPTION:How do people live together in cities shaped by inequality? Thi
 s was  the key question guiding Barbara Heer on the journey of her PhD pro
 ject  (2010-2015) at the Institute of Social Anthropology. Her dissertatio
 n  appears now in September 2019 in monograph format with Transcript.    T
 his comparative ethnography set in Maputo and Johannesburg aims to  presen
 t a new narrative about social life in cities often described as  sharply 
 divided. Based on the ethnography of entangled lives unfolding  in a towns
 hip and in a suburb in Johannesburg\, in a bairro and in an  elite neigh
 borhood in Maputo\, the book includes case studies of  relations between d
 omestic workers and their employers\, failed attempts  by urban elites to 
 close off their neighborhoods\, and entanglements  emerging in religious s
 paces and in shopping malls. Systematizing  comparison as an experience-ba
 sed method\, the book makes an important  contribution to urban anthropolo
 gy\, comparative urbanism and urban  studies.
