The received view of Zambia's mineworkers is of a reactionary body
unable and unwilling to shape progressive politics in post-colonial
Zambia. Miles Larmer seeks to use a whole range of little-used
sources to dispel this myth. Extensive interviews with mineworkers
and their wives reveals a working-class consciousness and a whole
host of social and economic expectations that shaped their attitude
towards political change. "Mineworkers in Zambia" gives this
misunderstood group a place in the movement for political reform
which culminated in the transition to multiparty democracy in 1991,
and in so doing draws important lessons for the wider social and
political history of post-colonial Africa.
