Abstract
The article discusses two significant works that explore socio-political themes in different contexts. The first work, "In the Skin of the City," examines the fragmentation of urban life in Luanda, Angola, highlighting the impact of neocapitalism on laborers and the government's control over land and residence rights. The second work, "Lifemaking: Political Philosophy for Human Flourishing in African Perspective," by Nimi Wariboko, presents a political philosophy rooted in the Kalabari-Ijo people's traditions, advocating for human flourishing as a counter to necropolitics in Africa. Both texts are recommended for scholars interested in urban studies, African political philosophy, and grassroots movements. [Extracted from the article]
