Abstract:Most of the papers in this book were first presented at a conference on the Zambian mining sector held in Oxford in September 2008, but were reworked after Zambia's 'short boom' of 2005-2008 turned to bust.

Adam and Anthony M. Simpasa); From boom to bust: diversity and regulation in Zambia's privatized copper sector (Dan Haglund); Raw encounters: Chinese managers, African workers, and the politics of casualization in Africa's Chinese enclaves (Ching Kwan Lee); African miners and shape-shifting capital flight: the case of Luanshya/Baluba (Jan-Bart Gewald and Sebastiaan Soeters); Contesting illegality: women in the informal copper business (Patience Mususa); The mining boom, capital, and chiefs in the 'New Copperbelt' (Rohit Negi); Conclusion: mining, dispossession, and the transformation in Africa (Ray Bush).
