Rezensionen

"This is a fascinating collection of studies offering new perspectives to existing literature on mining, both large and small-scale, by focusing on how this activity affects and is affected by peoples´ mobility. Through rich stories and original research readers travel the world, from the tin belt of Bolivia to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and distant New Caledonia, meeting men and women on the move, as migrants and workers, people whose lives are deeply intertwined with the mines. The result is a deeply satisfying volume providing new insights for academics, activists, and policymakers."

Cynthia A. Sanborn, Professor of Political Science and Researcher, Center for the Study of China and the Asia-Pacific, Universidad del Pacífico, Peru

"This provocative volume draws our attention to the multitude of human and non-human movements that are put into motion through resource extraction projects. The insights from Mining, Mobility, and Social Change in the Global South cross scales, disciplines, and geographies and ultimately culminate into a proposition for re-defining how we interpret the spatial and temporal extent of mining projects and their activities. It is an important contribution for scholars, policy makers, and advocates in addition to the many other professions embedded in the global resource economy."
