Abstract
Ghana’s current gold rush has exploded at an unprecedented rate and magnitude. Yet, despite their enormous mineral wealth, local mining communities typify the “underdevelopment paradox” common to most extractive-based economies. This disparity has galvanized a collective response from local communities and their activist supporters. Multinational mining corporations have become increasingly influential actors in Ghana’s economic scene, with wide-reaching consequences for local people’s socioecological stability. Consequently, the plight of communities affected by mining is garnering more public attention and mobilizing communities toward increased resistance to these large-scale mining projects, alongside demands for better compensation and improved community infrastructural development.
