A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The book is an attempt to provide a bottom up account of the Marikana story, to correct an imbalance in many official and media accounts that privilege the viewpoints of governments and business, at the expense of workers. --Prof Jane Duncan, Highway African Chair of Media and Information Society, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa

The Marikana massacre marked a watershed in the history of South Africa since the end of apartheid. In what may prove a classic work of engaged scholarship, this book helps the strikers themselves speak and be heard. --Alex Callinicos, Professor of European Studies, King's College London

No amount of capitalist brutality will deter our cause for a living wage. Workers should read this book about the struggle at Marikana. --Joseph Mathunjwa, President, Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Marikana Massacre in August 2012 involved the largest number of deaths of South African civilians by the security forces since the end of apartheid. The mineworkers were on strike for a living wage and were simply demanding the right to speak with their employer when the police attacked. The core of Marikana is a series of interviews conducted with those present. In addition, the book includes a narrative of the strike and the massacre, an analysis of context and political significance and a list of those who died at Marikana. Includes 5 maps and 14 photos.
