The New Resource Wars:
Native and Environmental Struggles Against Multinational
Corporations
By Al Gedicks
Forward by Winona LaDuke
An essential resource for anyone wanting to know more about metallic
sulfide mining in Wisconsin. Al Gedicks, a professor of sociology at the
University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, is a longtime environmental/native solidarity
activist in the upper midwest. He has served as the director of the Center
for Alternative Mining Development Policy and as the executive secretary
of the Wisconsin Resources Protection Council.
Gedicks paints a disturbing picture of the current environmental
crisis, but points to hopeful signs of resistance and coalition that could
successfully block multinational corporations' resources colonization of
native lands.
"Gedicks skillfully written book helps us to understand how these
struggles have taken place, why, and what we can do in the future. He tells
these stories not as a journalist, or even an interested bystander, but
rather as an integral part of many battles over mining and energy development
in North America."--Winona LaDuke (from the foreword) |
