Mine Mine Mine is a personal narration of Uhuru Portia Phalafala's
family's experience of the migrant labor system brought on by the
gold mining industry in Johannesburg, South Africa. Using
geopoetics to map geopolitics, Phalafala follows the death of her
grandfather during a historic juncture in 2018, when a silicosis
class action lawsuit against the mining industry in South Africa
was settled in favor of the miners. Phalafala ties the catastrophic
effects of gold mining on the miners and the environment in
Johannesburg to the destruction of Black lives, the institution of
the Black family, and Black sociality. Her epic poem addresses
racial capitalism, bringing together histories of the transatlantic
and trans-Indian slave trades, of plantation economies, and of
mining and prison-industrial complexes. As inheritor of the migrant
labor lineage, she uses her experience to explore how Black women
carry intergenerational trauma of racial capitalism in their bodies
and intersects the personal and national, continental and diasporic
narration of this history within a critical race framework.
