Ocena książki
Więcej o książce
The book examines the interplay between colonial regulations and the indigenous practices in Accra, highlighting how British officials and local technocrats attempted to impose a vision of a "modern" city. While they criminalized certain activities to reshape urban life, residents actively resisted these changes by protesting and asserting their own needs. This resistance illustrates the complex historical process of Accra's informal development, linking the city's evolution to broader themes of urbanization and technocracy globally.
