Reviews

This is a brilliant ethnography of Indigenous anti-mining movements in Ecuador from an activist-scholar who has spent decades working with social movements and learning from them. --Nicole Fabricant, author of Mobilizing Bolivia's Displaced: Indigenous Politics and the Struggle over Land The book sheds new light on intersections of gender, race, and class and the new Andean cosmopolitics that has shaped struggles against mining in Correa's Ecuador. Despite Correa's invocations of socialism and the rights of Mother Earth, Velasquez shows how Ecuadorans of diverse backgrounds--almost invariably led by women--created a language of unified struggle centered on water and challenged a state that prioritized gold over life. --Bret Gustafson, author of New Languages of the State: Indigenous Resurgence and the Politics of Knowledge in Bolivia
