This unique collection combines historical accounts with current socio-political analyses to present an agenda of social-spacial justice for the people of the Eastern Cape, a province a South Africa. The book explores economics, the environment, development, and service delivery, and also includes a series of case studies. The contributors' areas of expertise range from political science, social policy, economics, geography, anthropology, biology, and education. The Fate of the Eastern Cape not only provides a portrait of the post-1994 region, but also makes an important contribution to debates about future policy prescriptions, in order to tackle the wider questions about the future of South Africa's provinces.

Lindsay Michie explores Eastern Cape performance artists, activists, organizations, and movements that used inventive and historical means to raise awareness of their plight and brought pressure to bear on the authorities and systems that caused it, all the while exhibiting the depth, originality, and inspiration of their culture.
