This book maps the encounters between Indigenous Peoples and local communities with mining companies in various postcolonial contexts.
Combining comparative and multidisciplinary analysis, the contributors to this volume shine a light on how the mining industry might adapt its practices to the political and legal contexts where they operate. Understanding these processes and how communities respond to these encounters is critical to documenting where and how encounters with mining may benefit or negatively impact Indigenous Peoples. The experiences and reflections shared by Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors will enhance our understanding of evolving practices and of the different strategies and discourses developed by Indigenous Peoples to deal with mining projects. By mobilizing in-depth fieldwork in five regions—Australia, Canada, Sweden, New Caledonia, and Brazil—this body of work highlights voices often marginalized in mining development studies, including those of Indigenous Peoples and women.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of mining and the extractive industries, sustainable development, natural resource management, and Indigenous Peoples.

"This groundbreaking book is an indispensable resource for anyone concerned about the impacts of mineral extraction on Indigenous Peoples and local communities worldwide. With meticulous research and a commitment to amplifying marginalized voices, the authors offer a comprehensive analysis of the complex dynamics surrounding mining encounters. By emphasizing comparative perspectives and the holistic understanding of social, environmental, economic, and cultural factors, this work sheds light on both the opportunities and challenges presented by extractive industries. Through collaboration with Indigenous organizations and partners across multiple countries, the MinErAL network has produced invaluable insights that contribute to the global dialogue on sustainable development and Indigenous rights. A must-read for policymakers, researchers, and advocates alike."

“This collection is an excellent and necessary resource for those interested in the relations between mining and Indigenous Peoples. At a time when Indigenous Peoples are increasingly facing pressures from extractive industry, this book convincingly shows the need for a comparative approach and a holistic understanding of the impacts of these activities.”
