The last two decades have witnessed a dramatic expansion and
intensification of mineral resource exploitation and development
across the global south, especially in Latin America. This shift
has brought mining more visibly into global public debates and
spurred a great deal of controversy and conflict. This volume
assembles new scholarship that provides critical perspectives on
these issues. The book marshals original, empirical work from
leading social scientists in a variety of disciplines to address a
range of questions about the practices of mining companies on the
ground, the impacts of mining on host communities, and the
responses to mining from communities, civil society and states. The
book further explores the global and international causes,
consequences and innovations of this new era of mining activity in
Latin America. Key issues include the role of Canadian mining
companies and their investment in the region, and, to a lesser
extent, the role of Chinese mining capital. Several chapters take a
regional perspective, while others are based on empirical data from
specific countries including Bolivia, Brazil, El Salvador,
Guatemala and Peru.
