Russia's Cotton Workers and the New Economic Policy

Russia's Cotton Workers and the New Economic Policy

Chris Ward

Cambridge University Press
1990
sidottu
In Russia's Cotton Workers and the New Economic Policy Chris Ward uses a wide range of published and unpublished Soviet sources to examine key aspects of life on the shop floor of the Russian cotton mill in the 1920s. He reveals the existence of a complex world of work which grew out of the interaction between the experience of industrialisation in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia and the mechanisation of the cotton industry in Britain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The author explores the manner in which a 'mill culture' emerged from these developments and demonstrates that by the 1920s this culture was often very resistant to change. Russia's Cotton Workers and the New Economic Policy provides a realistic understanding of the relationship between worker, state policy and technology in Russia in the 1920s.

The Peasant Cotton Revolution in West Africa

The Peasant Cotton Revolution in West Africa

Thomas J. Bassett

Cambridge University Press
2001
sidottu
The literature of Africa is dominated by accounts of crisis and gloom. But Thomas Bassett, a distinguished American geographer well known in the field of development, tells an unusual story of the growth of the cotton economy of West Africa. One of the few long-running success stories in African development, change was brought about by tens of thousands of small-scale peasant farmers. While the introduction of new strains of cotton in French West Africa was in part a result of agronomic research by French scientists, supported by an unusually efficient marketing structure, this is not a case of triumphant top-down 'planification'. Employing the case of Côte d'Ivoire, Professor Bassett shows agricultural intensification to result from the cumulative effect of decades of incremental changes in farming techniques and social organization. A significant contribution to the literature, the book demonstrates the need to consider the local and temporal dimensions of agricultural innovations. It brings into question many key assumptions that have influenced development policies during the twentieth century.

Poetry Catalog to My Cotton Industry

He Delivered Me out of Hell "Deliverance from evil, he gave me no rest. He delivered me out of hell's temptation. If you could feel the wonderful thing that he did, he answered my prayers, and all he asked was for me to repent for my sins. The Lord carried me from hell. It felt like I was still on Earth, and the light shone upon me. He preserved me. He showed me the path of life and love, for the Earth should not have felt like hell, for I was looking for Heaven on Earth." Giving it to you raw, like you never had it before, author La'Rahz's poetry is off the hook. The climactic collection in "Poetry Catalog to My Cotton Industry" will take you deep into the world of issues on the street, such as church, war, family, cybersex, and drugs. She invites you to read the message, but keep it on the down low-this amorous poetry is for adults.
