It reveals how white worker identity was constituted, examines the white labouring class as an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous formation comprised of both men and women, and emphasises the active participation of white workers in the ongoing and contested production of race. White wage labourers' experiences, both as exploited workers and as part of the privileged white minority, offer insight into how race and class co-produced one another and how boundaries fundamental to settler colonialism were regulated and policed. Based on original research conducted in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, this book offers a unique theoretical synthesis of work on gender, whiteness studies, labour histories, settler colonialism, Marxism, emotions and the New African Economic History.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'It takes a fine eye and a supple mind to trace and understand the finest grains of the class and racial struggles that unfolded in colonial central Africa from their earliest manifestations in white trade unions to the Rhodesian Front’s war against the insurgent Zimbabwean liberation movements.  Ginsburgh’s study, thematically rich and informed by great sensitivity to comparative issues and transdisciplinary studies, brings out every nuance of those struggles by showing how, just beneath the tectonic plates of manifest contestation swirls the hidden magma of class, gender, race and, contingently constructed, identity.'\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Charles van Onselen, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Fox and the Flies \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Seed is Mine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1 The making of white worker identity\u003cbr\u003e2 The Great Depression and shifting boundaries of 'white work'\u003cbr\u003e3 The Second World War\u003cbr\u003e4 The 'multiracial' Central African Federation, 1953–63 \u003cbr\u003e5 White fights, white flight and the Rhodesian Front, 1962–79\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eSelected bibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041034174807,"sku":"9781526167095","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526167095.jpg?v=1750948687","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/class-work-and-whiteness-race-and-settler-colonialism-in-southern-rhodesia-1919-79-9781526167095","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
