Description
Originally published in 1933, this comparative study examines labour markets across early twentieth-century Africa, analysing the profound impact of Western industrial and sociological influence following the First World War. Spanning central and southern Africa alongside the West Coast, the book provides essential historical insight into African labour systems during a transformative period. This Routledge edition restores a foundational text in anthropological and sociological research, offering scholars and students a detailed exploration of how colonial and industrial forces reshaped African working life and society. The work remains invaluable for understanding post-war African economic history and the complex interactions between traditional labour practices and Western capitalism.

Key Features

The African Labourer offers a comparative analysis of labour markets across multiple African regions during the early twentieth century.

This 1933 publication examines the sociological and industrial effects of Western influence on African labour systems after World War One.

Routledge's edition covers central Africa, southern Africa, and the West Coast in comprehensive ethnographic detail.

The study combines historical documentation with anthropological perspective to analyse labour market transformation during this critical period.
