Ancestral Rainforests And The Mountain Of Gold: Indigenous Peoples And Mining In New Guinea

By David Hyndman

The ancestral rain forests for the Wopkaimin people have long been a sacred geography, a place that has allowed them to act out the obligations of the male cult system and social relations of production based on kinship. Based on fieldwork spanning more than a decade, David Hyndmans book traces the extraordinary socioecological transformation of a traditional society confronting modern technological risk.
