Surveys developments from the establishment of the Apartheid state
to 1982 when it was being challenged in the mines, factories and
townships. After the Soweto Revolt, the government slowly began to
compromise and by 1982 the conditions were present for the
formation of a new union for black mineworkers. Key Features
include studies of: Recruitment, harsh working conditions and
work-related deaths and injuries, including a detailed account of
the Coalbrook Colliery disaster in 1960 when 437 were killed. A
wave of dissent by black students and industrial workers arose in
the 1970s. The Guardian newspaper conducted a successful wages
campaign for black workers. Black mineworkers joined the protesters
in 1973-1976 when more than 200 of them were killed. These protests
were followed by the Soweto uprising, by township violence and by a
state response that was both oppressive and conciliatory
