Julie Michelle Klinger draws attention to the fact that the rare earths we rely on most are as common as copper or lead, and this means the implications of their extraction are global. Klinger excavates the rich historical origins and ongoing ramifications of the quest to mine rare earths in ever more impossible places. Klinger writes about the devastating damage to lives and the environment caused by the exploitation of rare earths. She demonstrates in human terms how scarcity myths have been conscripted into diverse geopolitical campaigns that use rare earth mining as a pretext to capture spaces that have historically fallen beyond the grasp of centralized power. These include legally and logistically forbidding locations in the Amazon, Greenland, and Afghanistan, and on the Moon. Drawing on ethnographic, archival, and interview data gathered in local languages and offering possible solutions to the problems it documents, this book examines the production of the rare earth frontier as a place, a concept, and a zone of contestation, sacrifice, and transformation.Lunar miningRare earth metalsBrazilAmazonasRare earth metalsChinaInner MongoliaRare earth metalsPolitical aspectsRare earth metalsSocial aspectsLunar mining.Rare earth metalsRare earth metalsRare earth metalsPolitical aspects.Rare earth metalsSocial aspects.553.4/94Klinger Julie Michelle1983-916877Knowledge UnlatchedMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910255444603321Rare earth frontiers2055495UNINA
