"The second installment of the Reader is centered on the theme 'Mobilities and Fixtures'. In this issue Sean O'Toole interviews architect David Adjaye about African cityscapes, snapshot photography and failed utopias; Victor Lavalle uncovers the making of mercenaries in Uganda; Martin Kimani follows the African visa-seeker in the tragi-comedy that is the post 9/11 airport; Sherif El-Azma explores Cairo by foot; MADEYOULOOK and Santu Mofokeng imagine the didactic possibilities of trains; Manu Herbstein documents the 'car-doctors' of Accra; Chris Abani discovers the African city of Las Vegas; and Michael Watts examines oil cities."-- provided by distributor.
