'In a time of ecological crisis, with ever present evidence of social conflict arising from mining development, Tracy-Lynn Field's painstaking examination of the contested discourses of sustainable mining and the role of the state makes a major contribution. Going beyond critique with a detailed comparative assessment of laws relating to property, tax, and environment, Field ultimately reveals how a post-extractivist frame could underpin transformation away from the chronic environmental, social and economic externalities that continue to plague global mining.'--Sara L Seck, Dalhousie University, Canada
