The Stone Breakers: A Classic Novel of Labor Resistance

Bag om The Stone Breakers: A Classic Novel of Labor Resistance

"Set in an imagined contemporary African country, this gripping novel portrays from a unique second person point-of-view the uprising of a group of women stone crushers at a gravel pit, who rise up against their corporate bosses to demand higher wages for their labor - a grueling process of breaking rocks down to gravel-size bits to be used as road surfacing for the expansion of the country's airport. What begins as a village protest escalates to a state-wide rebellion that confronts the corrupt leadership and challenges the status quo set by the government and the mining corporations. Appearing for the first time in English, The Stone Breakers will draw comparisons to the works of such authors as Chinua Achebe, Ben Okri, and Imbolo Mbue." -- Back cover.
