We Eat the Mines and the Mines Eat Us: Dependency and Exploitation in Bolivian Tin Mines ANNOTATION
"For a combination of careful scholarship, broad perception of the many factors keeping the workers in continual subjugation, and a sense of 'having been there', serious students...will appreciate this fine ethnography." -- Sociology: Review of New Books
FROM THE PUBLISHER
In this powerful anthropological study of a Bolivian tin mining town, Nash explores the influence of modern industrialization on the traditional culture of Quechua-and-Aymara-speaking Indians.
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)
