 This chapter unpacks urban insecurity in Africa to underscore the omnipresent features in the urban spaces on the continent (violence and crime) with the associated fear and vulnerability. The chapter stipulates that urban insecurity is often overlooked in Africa, is state-induced, and affects marginalized urban populations disproportionately. It zooms into urban populations generating livelihoods in ways that fall “beyond the purview of the state regulation” in an attempt to explain the state production of insecurity and its implications on urban transitions.

摘要

 This chapter unpacks urban insecurity in Africa to underscore the omnipresent features in the urban spaces on the continent (violence and crime) with the associated fear and vulnerability. The chapter stipulates that urban insecurity is often overlooked in Africa, is state-induced, and affects marginalized urban populations disproportionately. It zooms into urban populations generating livelihoods in ways that fall “beyond the purview of the state regulation” in an attempt to explain the state production of insecurity and its implications on urban transitions.
