Summary
"In this book, Duncan Money convincingly argues that the actions, organisations and identities of the White mineworkers who came to Zambia's Copperbelt from the 1920s onwards were shaped by their international connections, experiences and mobility. Drawing on research from archives on four continents, he shows what this meant for the ideas of race and class and for the lives of African workers on the Copperbelt, one of the most important centres of the world copper industry"-- Provided by publisher.
