About this title

Synopsis

This account of life in the Bolivian tin mines has been revised to include a new preface by the author that brings the text up to date. It addresses new issues in anthropology and recounts the author's findings during her most recent visit to Bolivia.

Review

"More than an anthropological account of indigenous miners in far off Bolivia, the book is a serious rendering of the contemporary social, economic, and political reality at the industrial world periphery." -- "Technology and Culture"
