Shack Chic: Art and Innovation in South African Shack-lands (Used)

By (author): Sandile Dikeni. By (author): Taweni Gondwe. A photographic celebration of the resourcefulness and design ingenuity found in South Africa's informal settlements. Craig Fraser's vivid photographs, with text by Taweni Gondwe, document how shack-dwellers transform limited materials into vibrant, personalised living spaces — showing, as the publisher puts it, "the triumph of artistic tenacity over adversity." First published in 2002, it became a cult favourite for its unconventional take on South African design.
