Resumo: | The present article describes the classical work of the Mozambican Social Sciences Black Gold: the Mozambican miner, proletarian and peasant (1983), writed by Ruth First in the end of seventies. The author was a communist militant and fought against Apartheid regime. The book explains the social situation of migrant workers in the mines of South Africa, originated from Inhambane, South province of Mozambique. This work is fundamental to understand the character of Mozambican Social Sciences after the Independence in 1975. By reading Ruth First’s book we can elaborate hypothesis about the exploitation of worker in the African mines today. Finally we will discuss how the use of categories proletarian and peasant in African countries helps us to understand the theoretical possibilities of Africa as object of research in the Social Sciences. |

O livro aborda a situação social dos trabalhadores migrantes nas minas da África do Sul, provenientes da província de Inhambane em Moçambique. A referida obra é fundamental, de um lado, para entender o caráter das ciências sociais moçambicanas logo após sua Independência em 1975 e, de outro, como uma fonte de hipóteses para investigações atuais sobre a exploração do trabalho nas minas africanas. Por fim, uma discussão sobre a pertinência de se utilizar as categorias de proletário e camponês em países africanos ajudará a aprofundar a compreensão das possibilidades teóricas da África como objeto de estudo das ciências sociais.
