Abstract

A book devoted to the transformation of law, in this case property law, which is published in South Africa is cause for celebration. Such a work devoted to South African law is rarer than the proverbial dentures of a hen. The opening holds great promise. Stuart Wilson graphically describes the occupation of inner Johannesburg by desperately poor people, living on the margins, in search of an urban dream. They now occupy a shell of a penthouse that was once part of an urban dream from a previous era.
