What the paper says

On the 16th of August 2012, thirty-four striking mineworkers were murdered by police in Marikana, South Africa during a strike against the mining company Lonmin. Could the fact that this at the time was a British-owned mining company in some ways represent a violent return of the ghosts of the late 19th century? This article details the historical connection between the financial sector in London and the mining industry in South Africa to examine the imbrications of international finance capital with imperial racism and racialized capital accumulation on the mines from the 1870s to the first World War.
