Industrial Policy and the Transformation of the Colonial Economy in Africa: The Zambian Experience By Horman Chitonge
2021 | 306 Pages | ISBN: 0367699605 | PDF | 17 MB
Industrial Policy and the Transformation of the Colonial Economy in Africa offers an in-depth analysis of the role industrial policy can play in the transformation of African economies. Using examples from Zambia's industrial development experience, this book illustrates that core features of the colonial economy have not just survived six decades of independence in most African countries, but they have continued to shape the nature, scope and pace of economic activities on the continent. The book argues that since the colonial economy in Africa was not intended to serve the interests of Africans, it is imperative that the structures and the underlying rationale of the colonial economy are radically reoriented if economic activities in Africa are to benefit the majority of Africans. Drawing from the Zambian experience, the book shows that the transformation of the colonial economy in Africa is urgently needed. Whilst this has proved to be difficult over the past six decades, it can be done. The book outlines a specific type of industrial policy, Frontier Industrial Policy, as a key instrument for transforming the structure of African economies. At a time when economic growth across Africa is under considerable pressure due to COVID-19, the insights in this book will be of interest to researchers across Economics, Development, Postcolonial Studies, and African Studies.

Questo volume [...] non si limita a descrivere, ma ricompone un quadro finora assente. I 37 capitoli che compongono questo volume-monstre dettagliano aspetti, figure, momenti spesso messi da parte nel dibattito. ... Attraverso i diversi capitoli il lettore percepisce la pervasività [dell'industria] che si fa ideologema, le sue diverse realizzazioni e simbolizzazioni artistiche (cinematografiche e letterarie), e si rende conto che non si tratta solo di una moda o un momentaneo interesse dovuto a qualche intellettuale innamorato degli operai.

Child Workers and Industrial Health in Britain, 1780-1850 By Peter Kirby
2013 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1843838842 | PDF | 8 MB
Historians have long recognised the importance of child health during the Industrial Revolution, but few have explored the health of working children in any analytical detail. In this comprehensive study, Peter Kirby places the occupational health of employed children within a broad context of social, industrial and environmental change during the period 1780 to 1850. The book explores the deformities, fevers, respiratory complaints, industrial injuries and physical ill-treatment which have long been associated with child labour in the factory workplace. The result is a more nuanced picture of child health and child labour during the classic 'factory age' which raises important questions about the enduring stereotype of the health-impaired and abused industrial child.Peter Kirby is Professor of Social History and Director of the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare at Glasgow Caledonian University.Table of ContentsIntroduction: : Locating Children's Industrial HealthChild Health and the Manufacturing EnvironmentChild Health in the Industrial WorkplaceCertifying Surgeons, Children's Ages and Physical GrowthThe Ill-Treatment of Working ChildrenConclusion: Relocating the Health of Industrial Children, 1780-1850AppendixBibliography
