Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
Originally published in 1982, this groundbreaking work stands as the pioneering in-depth exploration of the labor system within the South African gold mining industry during the pivotal years of 1886 to 1906. While its insights may have been specific to the early period, their relevance extended far beyond, as many of the policies established during the industry's formative years endured. The book intricately charts the evolution of deep-level mining, shedding light on the conflicts that arose between miners and mine owners. It delves into the profound impact of the Anglo-Boer War on the gold mining industry, examining the role of mine owners in this conflict. Furthermore, it explores the strategic significance of employing Chinese labor as a defense mechanism against the erosion of the labor structure. Finally, the book delves into the origins of the racially discriminatory legislation that defined the Apartheid system.
