About this title

Synopsis

This book maps the encounters between Indigenous Peoples and local communities with mining companies in various postcolonial contexts.

Combining comparative and multidisciplinary analysis, the contributors to this volume shine a light on how the mining industry might adapt its practices to the political and legal contexts where they operate. Understanding these processes and how communities respond to these encounters is critical to documenting where and how encounters with mining may benefit or negatively impact Indigenous Peoples. The experiences and reflections shared by Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors will enhance our understanding of evolving practices and of the different strategies and discourses developed by Indigenous Peoples to deal with mining projects. By mobilizing in-depth fieldwork in five regions―Australia, Canada, Sweden, New Caledonia, and Brazil―this body of work highlights voices often marginalized in mining development studies, including those of Indigenous Peoples and women.

This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of mining and the extractive industries, sustainable development, natural resource management, and Indigenous Peoples.
