DRAWING EXTENSIVELY on his own experiences as a community activist in the greater Durban region of South Africa, Ashwin Desai provides an overview of changes in popular protest politics in South Africa in the post-apartheid era. Central to his book is the concept of the "poors," an inclusive category encompassing those deemed surplus to the needs of contemporary capitalism, other than as a revenue source in return for the provision of basic water, electricity, and related services.
