I just wrote a think piece on Tanya Zack's latest book: The Chaos District. Take a look 🔽
" But chaos there is. And it may not be where we think it is.
First, there is chaos in government responses to the rise and renewal of Jeppe. One that embraces police violence ...
In Johannesburg’s Jeppe precinct, what looks like disorder is in fact a dense, transnational system of trade, labor, and survival at the heart of the global economy. africasacountry.com/2026/04/…
...harassment, neglect, and erasure. [...]
And then, there is chaos in the mind.
The migrant communities that populate the book struggle with the psychological pain of leading dislocated lives; lives that they attach to everywhere, but that really belong nowhere.

I wonder whether the European Civil Protection Mechanism can be activated for people—especially children—burned alive in plastic tents, or is it just for trees.
