Reviews of the original edition of The Development of an African Working Class:'...excellent and informative...' M. Turshen, Race and Class 18(2).'The Editors are to be congratulated on the quality of the contributions they have brought together.' John Cartwright, Canadian Journal of Political Science, Vol 10, No. 3.‘Overall, this is an excellent volume that will be useful to scholars on labor in developing countries’. –William H. Friedland Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 30 (3).‘This book is a tour de force. There is considerable fresh empirical data of use to any scholar. There are lively challenging interpretations that may not force any specialists in African development and labor to change radically their ideas, but they should necessitate reconsideration and modification’. – Thomas R. de Gregori Journal of Economic Issues, 12 (3).
