Although the country enjoyed a reputation for leading the world in occupational health legislation, the mining companies developed a system of medical surveillance and workers' compensation which compromised the health of black gold miners, facilitated the spread of tuberculosis, and ravaged the communities and economies of labour-sending states. The culmination of two decades of meticulous archival research, this book exposes the making, contesting, and unravelling of the companies' capacity to shape - and corrupt - medical knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jock McCulloch, Pavla Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811983291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811983290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.96d","brand":"Jock McCulloch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717828571391,"sku":"9789811983290","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b98b9bb2-9297-46da-b08d-7a380ff2fbaf.jpg?v=1705689573","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mining-gold-and-manufacturing-ignorance-jock-mcculloch-9789811983290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
