Review We Are All Slaves: African Miners, Culture, and Resistance at the Enugu Government Colliery, Nigeria (Social History of Africa) / Heinemann:

This book documents an important, but understudied, sector of a West African working class. The coal miners of the Enugu Government colliery became nationalist icons for many Nigerians following a colonial government massacre of striking miners in 1949. Carolyn Brown argues that the experiences of these miners deserve to be studied as something more than appendages to the political history of the birth of the Nigerian nation. Through the lens of gender, race, and class, she documents the tumultuous history of the Enugu miners and reveals how they developed characteristics of self-awareness and class-consciousness similar to those of their Western counterparts in British or North American mines. Students and scholars of African labor and social history will find immense rewards in this book, not only because of Brown's insightful analytical themes, but also for her meticulous miner's-eye descriptions of the labor process in the Enugu mines. Those scholars more familiar with the labor history of Western coal miners will appreciate the similarities between the militant histories of the Nigerian miners and their Euro/American counterparts.

Review Greenwood Press  / Construction Workers, U.S.A.: (Contributions in Labor Studies) Publication date: 1999-10-30

List Price: $115.00
Price: $115.00

Review Construction Workers, U.S.A.: (Contributions in Labor Studies) / Greenwood Press:

A lively, personalized account incorporating objective analysis and solid information accumulated over 42 years, this book presents a graphic picture of the construction industry from an insider's point of view. The volume focuses on the culture of construction workers, the management style of contractors, and the structural and organizational nature of the industry. It considers such unique features of construction as its craft-oriented technology, decentralized decision-making by workers on the job site, and non-bureaucratic methods of field supervision. Using the research of others, government publications, and his own intimate experience in the industry, the author provides an insightful view of a unique industry in modern America. The book opens with an overview of the industry, illustrating how construction is organized, the craft breakdown, and the cultural values of the crafts. It then considers such topics as workers' job satisfaction, craft organization of the work, and the dangerous nature of construction. Separate chapters are devoted to women construction workers, a recent phenomenon in the industry, and to minorities and the role of affirmative action. In conclusion, the book argues that construction is significant both as a major industry and as a model for organizing work to produce worker satisfaction.
