This seminal work tells the story of Ghana's gold miners, one of
the oldest and most militant groups of workers in Africa. It is a
story of struggle against exploitative mining companies, repressive
governments and authoritarian trade union leaders. Drawing on a
wide range of original sources, including previously secret
government and company records, Jeff Crisp explores the changing
nature of life and work in the gold mines, from the colonial era
into the 1980s, and examines the distinctive forms of political
consciousness and organization which the miners developed. The
study also provides a detailed account of the changing techniques
of labour control employed by mining capital and the state, and
shows how they failed to curb the workers' solidarity and tradition
of militant resistance. Combining lively historical narrative with
original analysis, this book remains a unique contribution to the
history of Africa and its working class.
