摘要

The concerns of political ecology since its beginnings as a field have been predominantly set in ruralareas with limited focus on urban industrial risks. Further, debates on the global South (often fromAnglo-American perspectives) have not fully appreciated the divergent and differentiated perceptionsof urban risks and, therefore, everyday forms of resistance within civil society. Instead, workhas mainly focused on civil society power relations against the state and industry that are drivenby coherent populist political agendas. Against this setting, this paper’s contribution aims to bettercontextualize ‘other’ third world localities in political ecology through a case study of urbanindustrial risks in the upper/middle income (as opposed to rural, low/lower middle income)country, South Africa. In doing so, the paper sheds light on the derelict aspect of civil societycontestation, especially along class and ethnic lines, over urban landfill infrastructure as a livelihoodresource or a health hazard. The paper draws upon frameworks of self-reflexivity andreflexive localism as complementary to the mainstream political ecology to illuminate differentiatedcivil society reflexiveness and therefore, aims to advance the discussion of other politicalecologies. The case study of the largest formal landfill site in Africa, the Bisasar landfill situated inDurban, highlights differences underlying power relations and constraints within civil society (inleadership, social networking, resources and mistrust) that have implications for mainstreampolitical ecology notions of civil society coherence.
