Product Review
“A wonderfully interesting book that announces clearly that there is a major new voice to be heard in Southern African studies.”–Leroy Vail, Harvard University
Product Description
Thousands of Mozambican workers tramped to the sugar plantations, diamond fields, and gold mines of South Africa. They arrived with the cultures and traditions they had learned at home, and it was through their encounter with other blacks, as well as with white employers, that a new and dynamic culture emerged. Work, Culture, and Identity offers a compelling narrative of the day-to-day life of these migrants. Harries portrays workers as not mere units of suffering, but human beings attempting to deal with exploitative situations in culturally creative ways.
