Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"[O]ffers an engaging, complex account focused on issues concerning the production, accumulation, and transformation of value."

* Choice *

"Tubb astutely examines the economics of artisal mining in the Choco area, adeptly shifting from the macro to the micro, the global to the local, whilst telling a captivating and compelling story."

* Nokoko *

"[A] rich and detailed ethnography."

* American Anthropologist *

"This is an exciting time for the anthropological study of mining, and Shifting Livelihoods makes a welcome contribution to the scholarship that is emerging."

* Exertions *

"This ethnography is an eloquently written and concise read for multiple audiences interested in discussions about economic anthropology and the anthropology of mining... Shifting Livelihoods is a respectful walk alongside miners in Colombia’s Chocó region that manages to capture their humanity and dignity – something that journalists and politicians have failed heretofore to do."

* Anthropologica *

"The book’s proposition of shifting livelihood strategies is especially convincing due to its writing style of ethnographic storytelling...The miners and their rainforest come to life in the book, one muddy page after another."

* Bulletin of Latin American Research *
