Abstract
One of South Africa’s most prolific writer’s o urban development, Patrick Bond has collected together fourteen of his essays on urban and housing policy failure over the first five years of ANC rule. Bond and his assorted co-authors’ reflections on the ‘heroic struggle over urban liberalism’ – and their self-conception as spokespersons for the oppressed – in addition provide a window on to the soul of what Bond describes as South Africa’s ‘radical petit-bourgeois intelligentsia’.
