Coal has been fundamental for the development of industrial and
transport technologies since the nineteenth century. Globalisation,
including colonialism, would not have been possible without
coal-based energy and thus the exploitation of coal in every part
of the world. But coal mining is a labour-intensive activity and
mine operators had to find, mobilise and direct workers to these
sites to enable exploitation. The recruitment of miners often
targeted groups with a perceived inferior status. This turned coal
mining communities into dense social spheres characterised by the
intricate dynamics of ethnic identifications, interracial relations
and class formation. The twelve articles presented in this volume
cover cases from Africa, Asia, the Americas, Turkey, the Soviet
Union and Western Europe, as well as a broad range of topics, from
segregation, forced labour and subcontracting, to labour struggles,
discrimination, ethnic paternalism and sports.
