Abstract:This article adopts a 'neo-Marxist' approach to a mono-commodity peripheral social formation in a period of dramatic transformations in the world system: from a post-war period of expansion to an era of contradiction. Theme is that class relations in Zambia have taken on a distinctive form because of the composition of the local state, the evolution of the national copper industry, and the transformation in the world economy. Sections: economic change and class development: the political economy of Zambia - from nationalism to humanism: class formation - copper companies and the mine workers: class contradictions - parastatals, profit and the proletariat: class consolidation - labor aristocrats and bourgeois fractions: class coalitions - the political economy of peripheralization: class struggles - economic decline and political decay: class repression. Notes.
