Varying conditions in western-northern cities are passed over: the banlieue, for instance, becomes homogenizing of many things − blackness, youth unemployment, circular passages linked to African regions – as in Simone (2011).

Sometimes ‘south’ merely and supposedly politely substitutes for ‘what we used to call the third world’ (Comaroff and Comaroff ).
