This book draws together international contributors to analyse a wide range of aspects of mining history across the globe.
This book draws together international contributors to analyse a wide range of aspects of mining history across the globe including mining archaeology, technologies of mining, migration and mining, the everyday life of the miner, the state and mining, industrial relations in mining, gender and mining, environment and mining, mining accidents, the visual history of mining, and mining heritage. The result is a counter balance to more common national and regional case study perspectives.

Stefan Berger is the Director of the Institute for Social Movements, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and Chairman of the Foundation History of the Ruhr. Peter Alexander is the Director of the Centre for Social Change, University of Johannesburg, South Africa.
