Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-26 00:00:00 Ina Knapper A wide ranging survey of the West African gold rush, Dumett explores the era through expected lenses of labor, capital, the clash of cultures and colonial rule, as well as taking the extra step of exploring traditional Akan mining techniques, and brings to light the parallel African gold mining sector that competed with the European mining sector.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-06-02 00:00:00 Wai Lee Sennett yine isyeri kulturu uzerine acaip zihin acici bir kitap yazmis. Zanaatcilik-Meritokrasi karsilastirmasi ve Foucoult'nun mikro politik yontemini calisanlarin yuzeydeki arzulariyla birlestirerek is yasamina uyarlamasi yontem olarak cok iyi. Ama islemek ve Lacanla birlestirmek gerek bu yontemi. Bu haliyle henuz ham. Ama adamda heralde bir gelenek olsa gerek son bolum fecaat. O zamanlar Ingiltere'de New Labour ruzgari esiyordu. Kitapta onlara da laf gecirdigi bolumler var. Ama kitabin sonunda gidiyor gidiyor, o adamlardan daha da "toplumcu-dayanismaci-yardimlasmaci" oneriler sunuyor.
