Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"The world is desperate for
cobalt
. It fuels the digital economy and powers everything from cell phones to clean energy. But this '
demon
metal,' this 'blood mineral,' has a horrific present and troubled history. Then there is the town in northern Canada, also called
Cobalt
. It created a model of resource extraction a hundred years ago -- theft of Indigenous lands, rape of the earth, exploitation of workers, enormous wealth generation -- that has made Toronto the
mining
capital of the world and given the
mining
industry a blueprint for resource extraction that has been exported everywhere. Charlie Angus unearths the history of the town and shows how it contributed to Canada's
mining
dominance. He connects the town to present-day Congo, with its
cobalt
production and misery, to horrendous
mining
practices in South America and demonstrates that global
mining
is as Canadian as hockey."--Publisher.
