Africa supplies the majority of the world’s diamonds, yet consumers generally
know little about the origins and history of these precious stones beyond sen-
sationalized media accounts of so-called blood diamonds. Stones of Contention ex-
plores the major developments in the remarkable history of Africa’s diamonds,
from the earliest stirrings of international interest in the continent’s mineral wealth
to the present day. In the European colonial period, the discovery of diamonds in
South Africa ushered in an era of unprecedented greed during which monopo-
listic enterprises exploited both the mineral resources and the indigenous work-
force. In the aftermath of World War II, the governments of newly independent
African states, both democratic and despotic, joined industry giant De Beers and
other corporations to oversee and profit from mining activity on the continent.
The book also considers the experiences of a wide array of Africans—from informal
artisanal miners, company mine workers, and indigenous authorities to armed reb-
els, mining executives, and premiers of mineral-rich states—and their relationships
to the stones that have generated both wealth and misery. With photos and maps,
Stones of Contention illustrates the scope and complexity of the African diamond
trade as well as its impact on individuals and societies.
Todd Cleveland is Assistant Professor of History at Augustana College
(Illinois). He has been a Fulbright scholar in both Angola and Ghana. He is
the author of numerous book chapters and articles on the history of diamond
mining and on soccer within the former Portuguese empire in Africa.
“A useful, lucid account of this sometimes dark and disturbing trade.”
—Matthew Hart, author of Diamond: The History of a Cold-Blooded Love Affair
“Todd Cleveland expertly mines the social, political, and economic history of Af-
rica’s diamond industry, explaining the phenomenon of‘blood diamonds,’ the
regulatory efforts of the past decade, and a growing sense of optimism that these
‘stones of contention’ may, at long last, contribute to meaningful development.”
—Ian Smillie, author of Blood on the Stone: Greed} Corruption and War
in the Global Diamond Trade and Diamonds
aStones of Contention is the best introduction to the history of diamond mining in
Africa—short and easy to read.”
