Over the past five hundred years, North Americans have increasingly
relied on mining to produce much of their material and cultural
life. From cell phones and computers to cars, roads, pipes, pans,
and even wall tile, mineral-intensive products have become central
to North American societies. As this process has unfolded, mining
has also indelibly shaped the natural world and the human societies
within it. Mountains have been honeycombed, rivers poisoned,
forests leveled, and the consequences of these environmental
transformations have fallen unevenly across North America. Drawing
on the work of scholars from Mexico, the United States, and Canada,
Mining North America examines these developments. It covers an
array of minerals and geographies while bringing mining into the
core debates that animate North American environmental history.
Taken all together, the essays in this book make a powerful case
for the centrality of mining in forging North American environments
and societies.
