This is a book which should be recommended for not only schools and colleges in Sierra Leone, but for anyone who has followed the political and historical developments in Sierra Leone and the social progress in that country since the colonial period.Mr. Fashole-Luke has left few stones unturned in his research and must be highly commended, perhaps even for one of Sierra Leone's highest awards. Fine stuff!>>> (John Cartwright West Africa )
In his instructive book, Luke examines the impact of the crisis of the post-colonial state from the perspective of lower-paid workers. He has chosen to examine this important but understudied area and has brought insight and careful research to his topic... For both the generalist and the Sierra Leonean specialist, Luke provides useful historical summaries of labor relations in both the colonial and post-colonial eras.>>> (The International Journal Of African Historical Studies )
