The received view of Zambia's mineworkers is of a reactionary body unable and unwilling to shape progressive politics in post-colonial Zambia. This book uses a whole range of little-used sources to dispel this myth. Extensive interviews with mineworkers and their wives reveals a working-class consciousness and a whole host of social and economic expectations that shaped their attitude towards political change. Argues that this misunderstood group had a place in the movement for political reform which culminated in the transition to multiparty democracy in 1991. 272pp, UK. I B TAURIS.

Argues that the PRS approach reflects in theory a new quality in the relationship between donors and countries like Zambia. While the Zambian Government reveals serious weaknesses in the implementation of the strategy, the donor community is also not implementing the new principles adequately. Firstly, the operational basis of many donors is still driven by their own interests and policy agendas, and not or only half-heartedly by the Zambian PRS. Secondly, almost six years after the introduction of the PRS approach the harmonisation of aid modalities is still in its infancy. Thirdly, donors fail to use the opportunity to strengthen reform forces within the country. Concludes, that this twofold implementation problem contributes to continuously high poverty levels and persistent neopatrimonial behaviour in Zambia. 321pp, ZAMBIA. UNIVERSITY OF ZAMBIA PRESS.

Investigates the crucial role that education played in the construction and subsequent life of Zambia, from the perspective of subaltern theory and the educational structure from the theoretical perspective of the writings of Michel Foucault. Argues that by 1924 there were already four clearly defined groups within the territory (the Colonial Officials, the Miners, traders and farmers, the Missionaries and the Africans), and that each of these categories of people had their own view of how the territory should be developed. A detailed study of the education provided at both Discourse (Policy) and Discipline (schools and curriculum) levels shows however that none of the participants took into account the inherent logic of an educational system. The efforts made to manipulate the system has led to results that none of the parties envisaged and has left the Zambian people with major problems at social, political and educational levels. 512pp, USA.

In 2004, it was widely reported in the British and Zambian press that Roy Clarke, columnist and satirist, known as Kalaki, on the The Post, Zambia's major independent daily, faced deportation. Following a column entitled Mfuwe, the government had announced he was a threat to peace and good order. Clarke refused to succumb however, or indeed apologise. Instead, supported by his editor, he continued to champion the freedom of the press in Zambia, freedom of expression in general and the cause of Zambian journalism. This book brings together a collection of Clarke's writings, published over a period of five years. Index, 176pp, ZAMBIA. BOOKWORLD PUBLISHERS.
