Book Description
Picture it: a street lined with perfectly manicured lawns, stately homes, and residents who wouldn't dream of leaving the house without their matching garden gloves and a carefully cultivated air of superiority. Sound familiar? Well, it's not quite as idyllic as it sounds. This is Respectable Street, a community that, let's just say, takes the whole "keeping up appearances" thing to a whole new level. The neighbors on Respectable Street are, for the most part, good people. They bake delicious cookies, volunteer at the local animal shelter, and have a knack for finding the most obscure gardening magazines. They're also, perhaps, a bit too comfortable in their routines, a tad too quick to judge, and a little too fond of whispering behind their hands whenever something new comes along. And then there's Greg. He's not from Respectable Street, but he's living there now, in a house that used to be the envy of the neighborhood before it was remodeled with a bizarre and slightly unsettling color scheme. Greg has a past, a bit of a reputation, and he doesn't exactly blend in with the crowd. But even in the most respectable of neighborhoods, life doesn't always unfold according to plan. Things get messy, people make mistakes, and secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface like a forgotten can of soda left in the sun. So, join us as we dive into the chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartwarming world of Respectable Street. We'll meet the residents, witness their quirks, and maybe even learn a thing or two about ourselves along the way. Just remember, it's not always about the outward appearances, it's about the human connections, the unspoken truths, and the unexpected laughter that binds us together, even when we're trying to pretend we're something we're not.

Respectable Mothers, Tough Men and Good Daughters
Author: Salo, Elaine R.
Publisher: Langaa RPCIG
ISBN: 9956550264
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
The book examines how men and women in Manenberg township, on Cape Town’s inner periphery, manoeuvre to re-define themselves as gendered persons deserving of dignity, through the quotidian practices of ordentlikheid or respectability. Salo shows how reclamation of dignity is an intergenerational and gendered process that is messy and uneven, involves the expression of often-brutal physical and social exclusion of individuals through embodied and social violence. Theoretically, the narrative makes visible the careful, painstaking processes of place making and claiming dignity by men and women in a place represented as a wasteland in the dominant discourse of grand apartheid and in the contemporary neo-liberal turn in Cape Town.
