Boom and bust on the Zambian Copperbelt / Alastair Fraser -- Historical Perspectives on Zambia's Mining Booms and Busts / Miles Larmer -- The Economics of the Copper Price Boom in Zambia / Christopher S. Adam and Anthony M. Simpasa -- From Boom to Bust: Diversity and Regulation in Zambia's Privatised Copper Sector / Dan Haglund -- Raw Encounters: Chinese Managers, African Workers and the Politics of Casualization in Africa's Chinese Enclaves / Ching Kwan Lee -- African Miners and Shape Shifting Flight Capital: The Case of Baluba Luanshya / Jan/Bart Gewald and Sebastiaan Soeters -- Contesting Illegality: Women in the Informal Copper Business / Patience Mususa -- The Mining Boom, Capital and Chiefs in the 'New Copperbelt' / Rohit Negi -- Mining, Dispossession and Transformation in Africa / Ray Bush.

This book paints a vivid picture of Zambia's experience riding the copper price rollercoaster. It brings together the best of recent research on Zambia's mining industry from eminent scholars in history, geography, anthropology, politics, sociology and economics. The authors discuss how aid donors pressed Zambia to privatize its key industry and how multinational mining houses took advantage of tax/breaks and lax regulation. It considers the opportunities and dangers presented by Chinese investment, how both companies and the Zambian state responded to dramatic instabilities in global commodity markets since 2004, and how frustration with the courting of mining multinationals has led to the rise of populist opposition. This detailed study of a key industry in a poor Central African state tells us a great deal about the unstable nature and uneven impacts of the whole global economic system.
