Zambia Growth and Development Content

Global Census Archive Publications (1931-2022)

Zambian census publications offer primary source statistical and historical data on the rapid rise of population from 3.5 million in 1964 to over 21 million today. Scholars can trace the rise of fertility rates and the rebound of life expectancy post-HIV/AIDS crisis in official census documents. The acceleration of urbanization, especially in Lusaka and the Copperbelt, are captured in provincial census reports. Learn more about Global Census Archive: eastview.com/gca

 

Global Press Archive Newspapers (1967-1987)

Specialty mining newspapers, Roan Antelope and Mining Mirror offer a unique lens for studying Zambia’s post-independence economic development – covering the lead up to and aftermath of President Kaunda’s nationalization of the copper industry in 1969. This event redefined Zambia’s economy and its relationship with foreign capital. Though their audience was narrow, geared towards a readership that worked in the mining industry, these newspapers may now function as a case study of common themes in modern Zambian history, including decolonization, state-building, and control of the media in a single-party state.
