Exploring the role of eight labour-exporting administrations in southern Africa in controlling international labour migration, this book traces their growing influence over international labour supply and the importance of this labour-export policy in their emergence as separate states. Labour-export policy in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe over the past century is examined. A statistical overview and graphs of the flow of labour are included. (source: Nielsen Book Data)
