Editorial Reviews

More than an anthropological account of indigenous miners in far off Bolivia, the book is a serious rendering of the contemporary social, economic, and political reality at the industrial world periphery.

Technology and Culture

We Eat the Mines urges greater left internationalism and solidarity. And it demands closer examination of how the people, places, and politics we study are forged in the crucible of capital accumulation, that is, how structural and historical unevenness and the fractures and disarticulations of capitalism shape their lives.
