| Samenvatting: | The book Territory, Cities, and African Identities in Movement, organized by Andréia Moassab and Marina Berthet, aims primarily to integrate the discussion on urbanization and globalization from the perspective of the African continent. The central hypothesis of this work is a rethinking of critical thought about African cities, based on the perspective that South-South dialogues—between Africa and Latin America—can offer creative and contextually appropriate solutions for local realities.
By seeking answers within the African continent and proposing a debate attuned to its specific contexts, the organizers envision alternative analytical frameworks for global cities, challenging the usual Eurocentric paradigms shaped by patriarchal, racist, and capitalist criteria.
The book comprises eight chapters written by authors from various countries and local spatial realities, presented through a multidisciplinary lens across multiple fields of knowledge. Odair Varela, Victor Barros, and Redy Lima are Cape Verdean researchers in social sciences and history; Celine Veríssimo, Marina Berthet, and Alain Kally are foreign scholars based in Brazil, conducting research on Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Senegal through the fields of architecture, anthropology, and sociology; and Andréia Moassab and Fernando Ribeiro are Brazilian—Moassab lived and worked in Cape Verde, grounding her architectural reflections in that experience, while Ribeiro, an anthropologist and historian, has dedicated himself to studies on the Afrasian Sea.
Complementing the texts, the book also features the work of Cape Verdean visual artist César Schofield Cardoso, whose photograph from the series Wavering Spaces is used on the cover. |
