Embracing the Anaconda examines the socio-environmental impacts of contemporary mining companies like Anaconda Copper on the Atacameños, an indigenous community in northern Chile, and how the relationship has evolved through the battle for local water resources that jeopardizes the environment and livelihoods of the Atacameños.
Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, Anita Carrasco examines the socio-environmental impacts of contemporary mining on the Atacameños, an indigenous community in northern Chile, and their home in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest regions in the world. Carrasco describes the impacts of short-term mining corporations like Anaconda Copper that arrived, destroyed, and departed, while explicating the positive and negative memories of those left behind. This book is recommended for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, race and ethnic studies, and Latin American studies.
