Abstract
Review: Unearthing Conflict: Corporate Mining, Expertise, and Activism in Peru
Highlights
A colleague noticed the cover of Unearthing Conflict and said, “I know THAT story
Dr Li, an anthropologist at the University of Manitoba whose doctoral field research in 2005-2006 is the basis of this book, shows how local communities were able to influence the activities of a large mining company by strategic appropriation of the terminology used in public debate
In Part 1, “Mining Past and Present,” Li traces the history of mining in the Peruvian Central and Northern highlands, describing the ways in which mining technologies, political activism, and corporate practices have changed since the early 20th century, and the ways in which mining activity has altered landscape and livelihood practices
Summary
A colleague noticed the cover of Unearthing Conflict and said, “I know THAT story. It is the same as every other one about mining in a third world country: they came, they stole our gold, wrecked our water, and ruined our soil.” I am happy to report that my colleague is wrong.
