A study which discusses the structural problems in Zambia and the policies of adjustment that have been tried. It also analyses the impact of various strategies with regard to external resource transfers. The results show that the scope for growth is highly dependent on the tightness of the external resource constraint, and that debt service tends to dominate the policy-making.

“A call to arms in the class struggle for racial equity”—the hugely influential work of political theory and history, now powerfully introduced by Angela Davis (Los Angeles Review of Books). This legendary classic on European colonialism in Africa stands alongside C.L.R. James’ Black Jacobins, Eric Williams’ Capitalism & Slavery, and W.E.B. Dubois’ Black Reconstruction. In his short life, the Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution, leading movements in North America, South America, the African continent, and the Caribbean. In each locale, Rodney found himself a lightning rod for working class Black Power. His deportation catalyzed 20th century Jamaica's most significant rebellion, the 1968 Rodney riots, and his scholarship trained a generation how to think politics at an international scale. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the west and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the abiding repercussions of European colonialism on the continent of Africa has not only informed decades of scholarship and activism, it remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.

This is an attempt at an outline of working class struggle in Zambia between 1889 and 1989. The working class in pre-independence and post-independence Zambia has performed an exemplary role in the struggle for social liberation for the working class as well as the general population. Their history deserves to be told as fully as research materials allow.

The transition from an authoritarian to an egalitarian form of government is a major paradigm shift for any society. When the forces of opposition remain major players, however, the transition is bound to be tumultuous. In this, the first major book on post-UNIP Zambia, the author chronicles the transition to democracy in Zambia and in doing so sheds light on the challenges for democratisation in post-Cold War Africa.

This title analyses the implementation of political and economic liberalisation in Zambia during the first two electin periods (1991 - 2001).
