The story of the miners of Zonguldak presents a particularly
graphic local lens through which to examine questions that have
been of major concern to historians-most prominently, the
development of the state, the emergence of capitalism, and the role
of the working classes in these large processes. This book examines
such major issues through the actual experiences of coal miners in
the Ottoman Empire. The encounters of mine workers with state
mining officials and private mine operators do not follow the
expected patterns of labor-state-capital relations as predicted by
the major explanatory paradigms of modernization or dependency.
Indeed, as the author clearly shows, few of the outcomes are as
predicted. The fate of these miners has much to offer both Ottoman
and Middle East specialists as well as scholars of the developing
world and, more generally, those interested in the connections
between economic development and social and political change.
