Expectations of Modernity: Myths and Meanings of Urban Life on the Zambian Copperbelt - Perspectives on Southern Africa
James Ferguson
Once lauded as the wave of the African future, Zambia's economic boom in the 1960s and early 1970s was fueled by the export of copper and other primary materials. Since the mid-1970s the urban economy has rapidly deteriorated. This title explores the social and cultural responses to this prolonged period of sharp economic decline.
