Written by a former worker who himself grew up on Alcan's Plantation Mackenzie bauxite mine in Guyana, this is an eminently readable account of the life and history of a Third World working class. Dr. Quamina skilfully evokes what it was like to grow up on the outskirts of a giant mine run on almost totalitarian lines by a multinational corporation. He takes the story ahead through unionization to nationalization and into recent times. A stunning achievement!
