Abstract: | This paper identifies the essential and defining structural features of capitalist mining development in Rhodesia after 1940, especially with regard to those features which have influenced conditions of labour in mining employment. This is done through a discussion of modern changes in the production structure and the political economy of the 'mining complex' in Southern Rhodesia. Sections: Production and labour relations - Wage patterns and stratification amongst African mineworkers - Foreign African workers and cheap mine labour supplies - Conditions of employment and 'extra-economic' controls - The A.M.W.U. and skilled labour - Class, race and the State - Class alliances: capital and skilled labour.
