Although the country enjoyed a reputation for leading the world in occupational health legislation, the mining companies developed a system of medical surveillance and workers’ compensation which compromised the health of black gold miners, facilitated the spread of tuberculosis, and ravaged the communities and economies of labour-sending states. The culmination of two decades of meticulous archival research, this book exposes the making, contesting, and unravelling of the companies’ capacity to shape – and corrupt – medical knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9789811983290\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOccupational Lung Disease and the Buying and Selling of Labour in Southern Africa\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9789811983269\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOccupational Lung Disease and the Buying and Selling of Labour in Southern Africa\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9789811983290","offer_id":46438962856261,"sku":"9789811983290","price":42.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover - 9789811983269","offer_id":46438962594117,"sku":"9789811983269","price":53.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/fa9bb9ca-81ad-4d49-b577-51dd3f4329a5.jpg?v=1760160673","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/mining-gold-and-manufacturing-ignorance-von-jock-mcculloch-pavla-miller-und-jock-mcculloch","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
