At Home with Ivan Vladislavic (eBook, PDF)

An African Flaneur Greens the Postcolonial City

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This monograph is the first comprehensive analysis of the works of Ivan Vladislavic. Bringing a flaneur's sensitivity and deep word hoard to postcolonial Johannesburg, Vladislavic developed an "internal GPS" and a minimalist style, which helped him to establish a critical sense of home and to create a culture of sustainability.
