2018Best.-Nr. 2345977Rochester New York: University of Rochester Press 2018. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket - Pictorial Cover. 6x1x9. First edition. An exceptional copy. 2018 Hard Cover. xii 217 pp. Figures maps and tables throughout. Extensive notes bibliography and index follow text. An innovative study of labor relations particularly the interactions of recruitment agents and migrant workers in the mining concessions of Wassa Gold Coast Colony 1879 to 1909. Recent years have seen renewed interest in the historical study of labor in Africa. Unlike those of the past these new studies are rooted in the recognition of Africa's dynamic expansive and productive informal sector. While this book focuses on one of West Africa's earliest large-scale industries namely the Wassa gold mines in the southwest Gold Coast it is not solely concerned with the traditional working class. Rather it explores the plurality oflabor relations that characterized the mining concessions during the period 1879 to 1909 including the presence of migrants from various parts of West Africa as well as casual and tributary laborers both male and female. In capturing the phenomenon of labor mobility as it played out in Wassa Mediators Contract Men and Colonial Capital presents one of the fullest accounts of the labor agents who regularly brought groups of migrant laborers to the mines. The narrative discusses these agents' means of employment and roles in the informalization and indentureship of labor; in addition it explores the regional dynamics of the recruitment machinery and confronts issues of coercion and choice. Scholars interested in African history global labor history economic history and women's work in Africa will find much of value in this innovative study.

In "La surca y la huella"Â artist Casandra Luan highlights women throughout history who have rejected convention and stereotypes to make breakthroughs in their field and in the fight for gender equality. In addition to highlighting important gains in economic and social parity the compilation aims to fight against gender violence in its most obvious and brutal forms as well as the systemic violence that has made women invisible as historical agents.
