Parti sur les traces des mineurs kenadsi, Farid Larab nous propose dans cet ouvrage ponctué de souvenirs et d'analyses, des témoignages recueillis auprès d'eux et des personnes ayant vécu la période de l'exploitation charbonnière. Par leurs différentes déclarations, l'auteur a mis à nu une situation professionnelle des plus démunie, et livré des informations relevant du domaine politique (pratique coloniales), organisationnel ainsi que des faits essentiels marquant la colonisation de Colomb-Béchar, à savoir les importantes explorations de la région effectuées à la fin du XIXe siècle et la résistance de la population autochtone. L'auteur en parfait guide et ce, grâce aux archives et divers documents réunis, invite le lecteur à découvrir l'itinéraire d'une vie empreinte de souffrance, de risques auxquels ces anciens mineurs étaient exposés durant leur carrière professionnelle mais par dessus tout, d'une prise de conscience, ayant débouché sur des grèves et luttes. Puisant dans la mémoire de toute une génération, cet ouvrage constitue une contribution considérable apportée à l'Histoire.À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURFarid Larab est titulaire d'une licence en bibliothéconomie et sciences documentaires à l'université d'Alger. II y travaille en tant que cadre archiviste à l'entreprise nationale des Travaux aux puits de Hassi Messaoud.

"This collection brings together nearly three decades of research on the African American experience, class, and race relations in the Appalachian coal industry. It shows how, with deep roots in the antebellum era of chattel slavery, West Virginias Black working class gradually picked up steam during the emancipation years following the Civil War and dramatically expanded during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From there, African American Workers and the Appalachian Coal Industry highlights the decline of the regions Black industrial proletariat under the impact of rapid technological, social, and political changes following World War II. It underscores how all miners suffered unemployment and outmigration from the region as global transformations took their toll on the coal industry, but emphasizes the disproportionately painful impact of declining bituminous coal production on African American workers, their families, and their communities. Joe Trotter not only reiterates the contributions of proletarianization to our knowledge of US labor and working-class history but also draws attention to the gender limits of studies of Black life that focus on class formation, while calling for new transnational perspectives on the subject. Equally important, this volume illuminates the intellectual journey of a noted labor historian with deep family roots in the southern Appalachian coalfields."--from publisher's website.

Discover the most cutting-edge solutions to the environmental problems posed by coal. In Innovative Approaches towards Ecological Coal Mining and Utilization, a distinguished team of researchers delivers a comprehensive and fulsome exploration of the ecological problems caused by coal mining and utilization. The book discusses environmental pollution and carbon emissions in the context of modelling coal engineering issues, the design of innovative coal engineering systems, and the evaluation of innovative coal mining systems.The authors consider the technical and economic viability of each proposed solution, making the book ideal reading for environmental and energy researchers in academic and industrial circles. Fully interdisciplinary, Innovative Approaches towards Ecological Coal Mining and Utilization offers readers an integrated look at the management science and policy simulation involved solutions to ecological problems caused by coal mining and utilization.The included resources make full use of expansive case studies to illustrate the concepts discussed in the book, as well as robust economic analyses of the various technologies. Readers will also discover : A thorough introduction to ecological coal mining and developing trends in ecological coal utilization ; Comprehensive explorations of innovative approaches in coal mining and a multiple coal seams-oriented equilibrium strategy towards coal-water conflict resolution ; Practical discussions of seasonal change-oriented dynamic strategies towards coal-water conflict resolution and GIS-oriented equilibrium strategies for coal gangue contamination mitigation ; In-depth examinations of carbon dioxide emission reduction in coal-fired power operations. Perfect for environmental and water chemists, mining specialists, and chemical engineers, Innovative Approaches towards Ecological Coal Mining and Utilization will also prove to be an invaluable addition to the libraries of process engineers seeking the latest information on solutions to the environmental problems caused by coal mining and utilization.

Between 2009 and 2019, West Virginian politicians aligned themselves with the interests of the coal industry to the substantial detriment of the citizens and economy of the state. Despite the undeniable low-carbon transformation that was occurring in the energy industry in the US during this period, state political leaders doubled down on coal. Rather than provide the leadership necessary to manage the transition of the state's economic drivers away from fossil fuels, they largely blamed the demise of the coal industry on the federal government. At every turn, the interests of the coal industry were placed above the economic and environmental health of West Virginians. James Van Nostrand tells the story of why West Virginia now faces overwhelming obstacles to competing in the economic marketplace of the twenty-first century. The book serves as a warning of how a fair energy transition can be derailed by political failure.

This volume provides an overview of the political economy of coal in diverse country contexts. Coal is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions globally, accounting for about forty percent of energy-related CO2-emissions. Continued construction of coal-fired power plants could make the climate targets of the Paris Agreement infeasible to achieve. In spite of sharply declining costs for renewable energy sources, many countries still heavily rely on coal to meet their energy demand. The predominance of coal can only be adequately understood in light of the political factors that determine energy policy formulation. To this end, this edited volume assembles a wide variety of case studies exploring the political economy of coal for across the globe. These includes industrial and developing nations, coal importers and exporters as well as countries that are either substantial coal users, are just beginning to ramp up their capacities, or have already initiated a coal-phase out. Importantly, all case studies are structured along a unifying framework that focuses on the central actors driving energy policy formulation, their main objectives as well as the context that determines to what extent they can influence policy making. This large set of comparable studies will permit drawing conclusions regarding key similarities as well as differences driving coal use in different countries. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy, climate change, resource management and sustainable development. It will also appeal to practitioners and policymakers involved in sustainable development.

Departing from the existing literature, 'The Roots of Engagement' examines the individual-level factors that shape a person's opinions over resource extraction. It looks at what makes some individuals accept extractive activities close to their homes, while other individuals strongly reject them.
