Promotional Details
"White Mineworkers on Zambia’s Copperbelt, 1926–1974 is one of the first major works that explains the experiences of white male mineworkers on the Zambian Copperbelt. While in some ways the book is a traditional study of labour, it also offers new insights into the lives of white mineworkers, in particular into their consumption patterns. Money’s portrayal of the mineworkers’ social lifestyles highlights how critical it is to analyse the role of banks to understand white mineworkers’ use of currency and financial intelligence. The book, therefore, lays the basis for further studies to examine the dichotomy of banking and copper mining on Zambia’s Copperbelt". Jabulani Shaba, in South African Historical Journal, August 2022.

"Eloquently written, the author brings a colourful cast of characters to life.” [...] “This book is not just about Zambia, or mining per se, but has a much broader applicability: it covers mineral wealth and international capital, migration and labour, trade unions and economic development, and race in southern and central Africa. White Mineworkers On Zambia’s Copperbelt is an incredibly rich book that deserves to be widely read.” Tycho van der Hoog, in Connections, January 2023.
