The Rubber Industry In The Territories Of Manica And Sofala is a book written by W. H. Johnson that provides a comprehensive account of the rubber industry in the territories of Manica and Sofala, which are located in present-day Mozambique. The book covers the period from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, during which the rubber industry was a major source of wealth and economic activity in the region. The book begins with an overview of the geography and history of the territories, including their colonization by the Portuguese and the impact of the rubber trade on local communities. It then delves into the details of the rubber industry itself, including the methods used to extract rubber from trees, the labor practices employed by rubber companies, and the economic and social consequences of the industry's growth and decline. Throughout the book, Johnson draws on a wide range of primary sources, including government reports, company records, and personal accounts, to provide a rich and nuanced picture of the rubber industry in Manica and Sofala. He also offers insights into broader issues such as colonialism, labor relations, and the impact of globalization on local economies. Overall, The Rubber Industry In The Territories Of Manica And Sofala is an important historical work that sheds light on a little-known aspect of African history and offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of colonialism, economic development, and social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
