Beskrivning

Located amid tropical rainforest in the heart of Papua New Guinea, the Frieda River area is home to one of the biggest undeveloped gold and copper deposits in the Pacific. This book offers an account of local stakeholder strategies as they unfolded at Frieda over forty years. It describes how they attempted to use the complex social situation in the area to develop Frieda's rich gold and copper deposits. The book provides a strong and novel commentary on sustainability and social accountability of the mining industry operating in indigenous territories.

"There is really nothing quite like Skrzypek's volume in print... Skrzypek has done an impressive job of bringing [her ideas] together in a rich ethnographic context." Dan Jorgensen, Western University"This is a complex ethnographic corner of Papua New Guinea, and the author has demonstrated her ability to penetrate beneath the cultural surface." Nick Bainton, The University of Queensland
