Description

Gain a deep understanding of the complex gold sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo with this scholarly work from Routledge. While artisanal mining is often linked to conflict and poverty, this book offers a different perspective by examining the lived realities of millions of people across Sub Sahara Africa who depend on this industry. This study moves beyond simple narratives of miners as passive victims of economic or political forces. Instead, it provides a rich, in-depth analysis of the access, norms, and power dynamics within the Congolese gold sector. It explores the reality of living in a region home to vital mineral reserves alongside challenges like armed groups and human rights issues. Ideal for students and professionals in anthropology, sociology, and extractive industry studies, this book provides the context needed to understand the human element of the mining economy. It offers a necessary look at the social structures and agency of those working within the industry, making it a valuable resource for anyone studying sustainable development and African resource management.
