As the key component in aluminum production, bauxite has become one
of the most important minerals of the last one hundred years. To
some it brought economic and political advantage, but for many
others, its development left a legacy of exploitation. Aluminum Ore
explores the history of bauxite in the twentieth century and the
global forces that this history represents, from its strategic
development in the First World War to its role in the globalization
of markets as companies from the northern hemisphere vied for the
resources of the south. Featuring essays by scholars from around
the world, this wide-ranging collection is a history of one
essential mineral and a new perspective on a time of change.
