Octopus Books presents the Ottawa book launch of Unearthing Justice by Joan Kuyek.
Featuring Jamie Kneen of MiningWatch Canada, Eriel Tchekwie Deranger of Indigenous Climate Action, and Monique Manatch of Indigenous Culture and Media Innovations.
The mining industry continues to be at the forefront of colonial dispossession around the world. It controls information about its intrinsic costs and benefits, propagates myths about its contribution to the economy, shapes government policy and regulation, and deals ruthlessly with its opponents.
Brimming with case studies, anecdotes, resources, and illustrations Unearthing Justice by Joan Kuyek exposes the mining process and its externalized impacts on the environment, Indigenous Peoples, communities, workers, and governments. But, most importantly, the book shows how people are fighting back. Whether it is to stop a mine before it starts, to get an abandoned mine cleaned up, to change laws and policy, or to mount a campaign to influence investors, Unearthing Justice is an essential handbook for anyone trying to protect the places and people they love.
