Nearly two decades after the dismantling of apartheid in South Africa, how different does the nation look? In Cape Town, is hardening inequality under conditions of neoliberal globalization actually reproducing the repressive governance of the apartheid era? By exploring issues of urban security and development, Tony Roshan Samara brings to light the features of urban apartheid thatincreasingly mark not only Cape Town but also the global cities of our day-cities as diverseas Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, and Beijing.
