{"product_id":"9789956764327","title":"Mining Africa : Law, Environment, Society and Politics in Historical and Multidisciplinary Persp -- Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eCiting a dearth of multidisciplinary and multi-temporal perspectives  which would otherwise provide holistic coverage of the issues,   Nhemachena and Warikandwa critically examine, refine, and\/or create  theories and practices on mining on the Africa continent. Issues of   mining and environment are examined from different disciplinary  perspectives, such as law, archaeology, geography, sociology,   African studies, anthropology, history, economics, development,  security studies, politics, and human ecology. They explore mining   and environmental ideas and practices in Africa from pre-colonial  eras, and interrogate the ways ideas and practices can feed into   contemporary debates on mining, environment, modernity, science and  tradition, development, ecology, economics and transformation. The   book proposes a shift from the free-market-based mining regulatory  framework in Africa to a pan-African regulatory framework, because,   while African mineral resources have been used to develop Western and  Asian countries, Africans are left in chronic poverty. Even African   graduates, who are supposed to drive transformation using the mining  sector, are ill-equipped to provide African solutions to African   problems since the mining education that Africans are given is  Western, or recently Asian in content.
