Chapter 1: Case studies of precarious life in Johannesburg -- Chapter 2: The Suitcase Project: Working with unaccompanied child refugees in new ways -- Chapter 3: Shaping New Spaces: An alternative approach to healing in current “shelter” interventions for vulnerable women in Johannesburg -- Chapter 4.Violence and Memory in Breaking the Silence of Gukurahundi: A case study of the ZAM in Johannesburg, South Africa -- Chapter 5: Between remorse and nostalgia: Haunting memories of war and the search for healing among former Zimbabwean soldiers in exile in South Africa -- Chapter 6: Violence, suffering and support: Congolese forced migrants’ experiences of psychosocial services in Johannesburg -- Chapter 7:Watching each others’ back, coping with precarity in sex work.- Chapter 8:Tormented by Umnyama: An urban cosmology of migration and misfortune in inner-city Johannesburg -- Chapter 9: Faith healing, migration and gendered conversions in Pentecostal churches in Johannesburg -- Chapter 10: Healing and deliverance in the city of gold.

This volume offers radically new ways of thinking about precarious life in the city of Johannesburg. Using case studies as varied as Pentecostal and Zionist churches, brothels, shelters, political movements for change in Zimbabwe, ex-soldiers groups, counseling services and art projects, this volume grapples with the way its predominantly migrant residents navigate the opportunities, challenges, moral orders and relationships in this iconic and complex city. Taking seriously how context shapes meaning the authors use participatory and ethnographic techniques to understand people’s everyday responses to the violence, insecurity and possibilities for change that they face in contemporary Johannesburg. Read together, the case studies give us new insights into what it means to seek support, to cope and to heal, going beyond what mental health professionals traditionally consider support mechanisms or interventions for those in distress. They develop a notion of healing that sees it as a process and an outcome that is rooted in the world-view of those who live in the city. Throughout the chapters in this book is a sense of everyday insecurity alongside an equally strong sense of optimism, care and a striving for change. It is perhaps not surprising, then, that this book deals very centrally with themes of the struggle for progress, mobility (geographic, material and spiritual), and the sense of possibility and change associated with the City of Gold. Ultimately, the volume demonstrates that coping and healing are both a collective and individual achievement, as well as a economic, psychological, spiritual and material phenomenon shaped by context.
