The labour aristocracy? Ghana case study
Abstract
Does the African working class constitute a labour aristocracy, absorbing a significant proportion of the surplus, and identifying with the elites and sub‐elites in the civil service and expatriate concerns? This thesis is tested against Ghanaian material, in particular the 1961 strike of railway and harbour workers in Sekondi‐Takoradi.
