The sexual threat posed by black men to white women, which was known as Black Peril, led in 1903 to the introduction of the death penalty for attempted rape. Over the next decades more than twenty men were executed. Many of those men were innocent of any serious crime. Their fate is a reminder that sexual relations between Europeans and colonial subjects were one of the most problematic features of colonial life. Tension over Black Peril provoked a flood of legislation. Laws were designed to control the sexuality of African men and women and also to curtail the sexual transgressions of white females. While white men were largely immune from censure, white women were trusted neither by their husbands nor by legislators. The morality laws of Southern Rhodesia were founded upon well-defined models of male and female sexuality. African men and women were presumed to be under the sway of uncontrollable impulses. White women were believed susceptible to degeneracy. In Southern Rhodesia sexual pathology was a broad category, which included Black Peril, miscegenation, concubinage, prostitution and venereal disease. The ways in which the state and civil society responded to those controversies was important in establishing the boundaries of race, class and gender. The controversies were also relevant to the exercise of the most fundamental of bourgeois rights the legitimate claims of men to property in the bodies of women and the rights of citizenship. The panics were both an expression of the problems of constructing a white identity and a means by which it was achieved. The moral panics were driven by fear, and the desire for the retribution and cleansing. They also involved very real demonstrations of state power. The panics served the interests of the white community by dramatising the dangers it faced thereby giving it some leverage against its enemies. But as the history shows those gains only came at a price. This is the first full-length study of the Black Peril. The book will be of interest to specialists working in African history, cultural and postcolonial studies, social theory, sociology, politics and social anthropology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50168899633425,"sku":"CIN0253337283G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253337283.jpg?v=1750843597"},{"product_id":"black-soul-white-artifact-book-jock-mcculloch-9780521520256","title":"Black Soul, White Artifact","description":"The death of Frantz Fanon at the age of thirty-six robbed the African revolution of its leading intellectual and moral force. His death also cut short one of the most extraordinary intellectual careers in contemporary political thought. Fanon was a political psychologist whose approach to revolutionary theory was grounded in his psychiatric practice. During his years in Algeria he published clinical studies on the behaviour of violent patients, the role of culture in the development of illness and the function of the psychiatric hospital as a social milieu. These papers illuminate Fanon's political theory, expose weaknesses in his concept of political consciousness and liberation, and contain a 'secret history' explaining the tide of revolutionary movements in the Third World.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50353493442833,"sku":"CIN0521520258G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003126022417,"sku":"NIN9780521520256","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52402725781777,"sku":"NLS9780521520256","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521520258.jpg?v=1751103591"},{"product_id":"south-africa-s-gold-mines-and-the-politics-of-silicosis-book-jock-mcculloch-9781847010599","title":"South Africa's Gold Mines and the Politics of Silicosis","description":"Examines the silicosis crisis in the South African mining industry, and reveals how the rate of, often fatal, tuberculosis among black migrant miners was hidden for over a century.  South Africa's gold mines are the largest and historically among the most profitable in the world. Yet at what human cost? This book reveals how the mining industry, abetted by a minority state, hid a pandemic of silicosis for almost a century and allowed miners infected with tuberculosis to spread disease to rural communities in South Africa and to labour-sending states.    In the twentieth century, South African mines twice faced a crisis over silicosis, which put its workers at risk of contracting pulmonary tuberculosis, often fatal. The first crisis, 1896-1912, saw the mining industry invest heavily in reducing dust and South Africa became renowned for its mine safety. The second began in 2000 with mounting scientific evidence that the disease rate among miners is more than a hundred times higher than officially acknowledged. The first crisis also focused upon disease among the minority white miners: the current crisis is about black migrant workers, and is subject to major class actions for compensation.

In 1960, however, it became known that even relatively brief exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma, a virulent and lethal cancer.   Yet the bulk of the world's asbestos was mined after 1960. Asbestos usage in many countries continued unabated.  This is the first global history of how the asbestos industry and its allies in government, insurance, and medicine defended the product throughout the twentieth century. It explains how mining and manufacture could continue despite overwhelming medical evidence as to the risks. The argument advanced in this book is that asbestos has proved so enduring because the industry was able to mount a successful defense strategy for the mineral - a strategy that still operates in some parts of the world. This defence involved the shaping of the public debate by censoring, and sometimes corrupting, scientific research, nurturing scientific uncertainty, and using allies in government, insurance, and medicine.   The book also discusses the problems of asbestos in the environment, compensating victims, and the continued use of asbestos in the developing world. Its global focus shows how asbestos can be seen as a model for many occupational diseases - indeed for a whole range of hazards produced by industrial societies. The book is based on a wealth of documentary material gained from legal discovery, supplemented by evidence from the authors' visits and researches in the US, the UK, Canada, Kazakhstan, Zimbabwe, Australia, Swaziland, and South Africa.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52686129398033,"sku":"NLS9780199534852","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199534852.jpg?v=1762327278"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-jock-mcculloch.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
