The ancestral rain forests for the Wopkaimin people have long been
a sacred geography, a place that has allowed them to act out the
obligations of the male cult system and social relations of
production based on kinship. Today the people and their place are
suffering disastrous consequences from the sudden imposition of one
of the worlds largest mining projects, which has brought about
severe social and ecological disruptions. Based on fieldwork
spanning more than a decade, David Hyndmans book traces the
extraordinary socioecological transformation of a traditional
society confronting modern technological risk. Across the island of
New Guinea, the clash between the simple reproduction and
subsistence production system of indigenous peoples and the
expanded production and private accumulation system of mining has
resulted in environmental degradation.
