This title was first published in 2003. A fascinating insight into
the economic, social and political processes that shaped the lives
of white workers in Johannesburg between the beginning of deep
level mining (c. 1890) and the 1922 Rand Revolt miners' strike. The
book examines four related topics: the formation of working class
families, working class accommodation, the constitution of social
networks in the working class neighbourhoods and the political and
ideological aspects of white workers' unemployment. The main
argument presented here is that the class experience of white
workers in Johannesburg had a very important role in fostering a
sense of community between English and Afrikaner workers and their
families. It is this sense of community that plays an important
part in understanding the solidarity that emerged between English
and Afrikaner workers during the 1922 Rand Revolt.
