人们普遍认为，赞比亚矿工是一个反动团体，不能也不愿在后殖民时代的赞比亚塑造进步政治。Miles Larmer试图使用一系列很少使用的来源来消除这个神话。对矿工及其妻子的广泛采访揭示了工人阶级意识以及一系列社会和经济期望，这些都塑造了他们对政治变革的态度。《赞比亚矿工》使这个被误解的群体在政治改革运动中占有一席之地，这场运动最终导致了1991年向多党民主的过渡，并为后殖民非洲更广泛的社会和政治历史提供了重要的教训。
The received view of Zambia's mineworkers is of a reactionary body unable and unwilling to shape progressive politics in post-colonial Zambia. Miles Larmer seeks to use a whole range of little-used sources to dispel this myth. Extensive interviews with mineworkers and their wives reveals a working-class consciousness and a whole host of social and economic expectations that shaped their attitude towards political change. "Mineworkers in Zambia" gives this misunderstood group a place in the movement for political reform which culminated in the transition to multiparty democracy in 1991, and in so doing draws important lessons for the wider social and political history of post-colonial Africa.
