They went to work and to be trained as a vanguard labor force for the intended African industrial revolutions. While they were there, they contributed their labor power to the East German economy. \u003cbr\u003eThis book draws on more than 260 life history interviews and uncovers complex and contradictory experiences and transnational encounters. What emerges is a series of dualities that exist side by side in the memories of the former migrants: the state and the individual, work and consumption, integration and exclusion, loss and gain, and the past in the past and the past in the present and future. By uncovering these dualities, the book explores the lives of African migrants moving between the Third and Second worlds. \u003cbr\u003eDevoted to the memories of worker-trainees, this transnational study comes at a time when historians are uncovering the many varied, complicated, and important connections within the global socialist world.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Between the Hammer, Machete, and Kalashnikov: Labor Migration from Angola and Mozambique to East Germany 1979-90.- Chapter 3: Socialist Workers and Socialist Consumers.- Chapter 4: The Social Life of Socialism: Intimacy and Racism.- Chapter 5: Return, Fall and Rise of the Madjerman:  The Afterlives of Socialist Migration.- Chapter 6: Temporality, Memory and Meaning: Eastalgia in Angola and Mozambique.- Chapter 7: Epilogue: Transnational Sojourners, Intimate Strangers, and Workers of the World.","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516332335447,"sku":"9783031067754","price":42.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/remembering-african-labor-migration-to-the-second-world-socialist-mobilities-between-angola-mozambique-and-east-germany-9783031067754","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
