The Haut Katanga and Zambian Copperbelt mine towns have been understood as the vanguard of urban 'modernity' in Africa. Observers found in these towns new African communities that were experiencing what they wrongly understood as a transition from rural 'traditional' society - stable, superstitious and agricultural - to an urban existence characterised by industrial work discipline, the money economy and conspicuous consumption, Christianity, and nuclear families headed by male breadwinners supported by domesticated housewives. Miles Larmer challenges this representation of Copperbelt society, presenting an original analysis which integrates the region's social history with the production of knowledge about it, shaped by both changing political and intellectual contexts and by Copperbelt communities themselves. 606 $aWomen$zCentral African Copperbelt (Congo and Zambia)$xHistory 607 $aCentral African Copperbelt (Congo and Zambia)$xHistory 607 $aCentral African Copperbelt (Congo and Zambia)$xPolitics and government 607 $aCentral African Copperbelt (Congo and Zambia)$xEthnic relations 607 $aCentral African Copperbelt (Congo and Zambia)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aCentral African Copperbelt (Congo and Zambia)$xSocial conditions 610 $aAfrican history 610 $alabor history 610 $asocial history 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 676 $a967 686 $aHIS001000$aHIS001000$2bisacsh 700 $aLarmer$b Miles$01160613 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585954303321 996 $aLiving for the city$92905118 997 $aUNINA
