Zusatztext This! when published! was a brave book. It tackles community issues which are uncomfortable for many companies because the resolution of the issues is neither clear-cut nor complete. The documentation of the issues is an important contribution to the on-going search for solutions. The book chronicles efforts and activities relating to indigenous peoples who are directly or indirectly affected by mining activities. There is more reference to experiences with aboriginal peoples in Australia than other areas of the World (which include indigenous peoples in Russia! Peru! Ecuador! Papua New Guinea and the Arctic). I was disappointed with the depth of material covering Africa! which has its own set of social and economic problems! as it reflects against women! artisanal miners and children.Having said that! the book is rich in detail and depth for the areas and grouping it does cover. The different papers make extensive reference to the available literature on their various subjects and they give clear and detailed perspectives. - Eagle Bulletin 20.1 (July 2010) Informationen zum Autor O’Faircheallaigh, Ciaran; Ali, Saleem Zusammenfassung Indigenous peoples have historically gained little from large-scale resource development on their traditional lands. This book explores the great diversity of approaches to corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the extractive industries, and the complex and evolving nature of indigenous-corporate relations.
