Arthur McIvor and Ronald Johnston explore the experience of coal miners' lung diseases and the attempts at voluntary and legal control of dusty conditions in British mining from the late nineteenth century to the present. In this way, the book addresses the important issues of occupational health and safety within the mining industry; issues that have been severely neglected in studies of health and safety in general. The authors examine the prevalent diseases, notably pneumoconiosis, emphysema and bronchitis, and evaluate the roles of key players such as the doctors, management and employers, the state and the trade unions. Throughout the book, the integration of oral testimony helps to elucidate the attitudes of workers and victims of disease, their 'machismo' work culture and socialisation to very high levels of risk on the job, as well as how and why ideas and health mentalities changed over time. This research, taken together with extensive archive material, provides a unique perspective on the nature of work, industrial relations, the meaning of masculinity in the workplace and the wider social impact of industrial disease, disability and death. The effects of contracting dust disease are shown to result invariably in seriously prescribed lifestyles and encroaching isolation. The book will appeal to those working on the history of medicine, industrial relations, social history and business history as well as labour history.

A Gender Perspective On Landmine Management In Kampuchea
RRP $318.99
Landmine contamination in Kampuchea became a dominant narrative at the end of the Cold War. Since then an industry has been built on landmines by a global network of civil society organizations and international donors. What fieldwork in the K5 mine belt of northwestern Kampuchea revealed is autonomous landmine management under which minefields are being converted into communities in the almost total absence of the State and international funding and resources. This gender analysis of landmine management will help us understand post-conflict environments where 'agency' and 'victims' cannot be conflated, where women engage in all aspects of the agricultural cycle including clearing landmines, where men are disproportionately the victims of landmine accidents, and no children met with a landmine accident.
