Reviews
'Read this book if you want to understand the sundry consequences commercial resource extraction typically bring to indigenous livelihoods. Across a variety of regions and resources in both developed and developing countries, the authors find resilient indigenous cultures that are narrowly viewed as barriers to development by governments and corporations. The focus on host communities is this book's unique contribution.'Scott Pegg, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), USA'This is an essential book on a long-neglected topic. Both scholars and policymakers should read it closely.'Michael Ross, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
