Through literature, film and other forms of media that constitute shared social imaginaries, the essays in this volume explore urban life and realities in cities of the Global South and North, from Jakarta, Rio de Janeiro, Tijuana, Delhi, Kolkata, Luanda and Johannesburg, to Paris, Munich, Dresden, London and New York.

This volume originated from the conference, "Cities of the South, Cities of the North", organised by the Literary Cultures of the Global South Network at the University of Tǔbingen and held at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry in Berlin in 2015.
