Resource Rebels

By Al Gedicks

From the publisher:

Native peoples throughout the globe are facing extinction due to the greed of mining and oil companies. As the energy crisis intensifies, their plight sounds the alarm to all those concerned about the prospect of global warming, genocide, and preventable eco-disasters. Resource Rebels traces the development of multiracial transnational movements in the US, Asia, Africa and Latin America that are countering resource extraction and providing direction for environmentalists and anticapitalists alike.

"A detailed and informative account of modern day genocide that reveals the dark side of the global economic system....A compelling argument that the price of our oil is not paid at the pump but with the lives of indigenous people."--Janet Lloyd, Z Magazine

"Gedicks helps us to understand how these struggles have taken place, why, and what we can do in the future." -- Winona LaDuke
