South Africa's gold mines are the largest and historically among the most profitable in the world. Yet at what human cost? This book reveals how the mining industry, abetted by a minority state, hid a pandemic of silicosis for almost a century and allowed miners infected with tuberculosis to spread disease to rural communities in South Africa and to labour-sending states.

Black Soul, White Artifact: Fanon's Clinical Psychology and Social Theory
ISBN: 9780521520256 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The death of Frantz Fanon at the age of thirty-six robbed the African revolution of its leading intellectual and moral force.

During his years in Algeria he published clinical studies on the behaviour of violent patients, the role of culture in the development of illness and the function of the psychiatric hospital as a social milieu. These papers illuminate Fanon's...

Colonial Psychiatry and the African Mind
ISBN: 9780521453301 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this first history of the practice and theoretical underpinnings of colonial psychiatry in Africa, Jock McCulloch describes the clinical approaches of well-known European psychiatrists who worked directly with indigenous Africans, among them Frantz Fanon, J.C. Carothers, and Wulf Sachs. They were a disparate group, operating independently of one another, and mostly in intellectual isolation. But despite their differences, they shared a coherent set of ideas about "The African Mind," premised on the colonial notion of African inferiority. In exploring the close association between the...

This is the first global history of how the asbestos industry and its allies in government, insurance, and medicine defended the product throughout the twentieth century. It explains how mining and manufacture could continue despite overwhelming medical evidence as to... In the early twentieth century, asbestos had a reputation as a lifesaver.
