About this title

Synopsis

The first book in the trilogy traces the history the labor movement in Zimbabwe from 1900 to 1997, the second focuses on developments between independence in 1980 and 2000, and this final volume continues the history to the present. Sachikonye, Raftopoulos, and Kanyenze describe such aspects as the labor movement and the working class: a literature review; economic crisis, structural change, and the devaluation of labor; changes in trade unions and trade union influences; gender, youths, and disability in the changing industrial landscape; and political, judicial, and legislative responses to labor and the changing regime of industrial relations.
