HSRC Press

The HSRC Press, the Development Bank of Southern Africa and the Centre for Critical Research on Race and Identity invite you to the Johannesburg and Durban launches of Development and Dreams: The Urban Legacy of the 2010 Football World Cup edited by edited by Udesh Pillay, Orli Bass and Richard Tomlinson.

This important and timely work casts a critical eye on the management, costs and benefits associated with the 2010 World Cup, looking at the event’s uncertain economic and employment benefits, the venue selections, and the investment in infrastructure, tourism and fan parks, among other items. The contributors then explore the less tangible hopes, dreams and aspirations associated with the 2010 World Cup and interrogate what it means to talk about an African Cup, African culture and identity.

We hope to see you in Joburg or Durban!
