Martha Macintyre

Women Miners in Developing Countries (eBook, ePUB)

Pit Women and Others
Redaktion: Lahiri-Dutt, Kuntala

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Contrary to their masculine portrayal, mines have always employed women in valuable and productive roles. Yet, pit life continues to be represented as a masculine world of work, legitimizing men as the only mineworkers and large, mechanized, and capitalized operations as the only form of mining. Bringing together a range of case studies of women miners from past and present in Asia, the Pacific region, Latin America and Africa, this book makes visible the roles and contributions of women as miners. It also highlights the importance of engendering small and informal mining in the developing world as compared to the early European and American mines.
