"This book draws upon thinking about the work of the dead in the context of deindustrialization-specifically,
the decline of the textile industry in Kaduna, Nigeria-and its consequences for deceased
workers' families. The author shows how that the dead work in various ways for Christians
and Muslims who worked in KTL mill in Kaduna, not only for their families who still
hope to receive termination remittances, but as connections to extended family members
in other parts of Nigeria and as claims to land and houses in Kaduna. Building upon
their actions as a way of thinking about the ways that the dead work for the living,
the author focuses on three major themes. The first considers the growth of city of
Kaduna as a colonial construct which, as the capital of the Protectorate of Northern
Nigeria, was organized by neighborhoods, by public cemeteries, and by industrial areas.
The second theme examines the establishment textile mills in the industrial area and
new ways of thinking about work and labor organization, time regimens, and health,
particularly occupational ailments documented in mill clinic records. The third theme
discusses the consequences of KTL mill workers' deaths for the lives of their widows
and children. This book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, development
studies, anthropology of work and the history of industrialization"
