Description

Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, Anita Carrasco examines the socio-environmental impacts of contemporary mining on the Atacameños, an indigenous community in northern Chile, and their home in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest regions in the world. Carrasco describes the impacts of short-term mining corporations like Anaconda Copper that arrived, destroyed, and departed, and explains the positive and negative memories of those left behind. Embracing the Anaconda: A Chronicle of Atacameño Life and Mining in the Andes is recommended for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, race and ethnic studies, and Latin American studies.
