Drawing on colonial, postcolonial, and critical race theory, Paula Butler investigates Canadian mining activities and the discourses which serve to legitimate this work.Through a series of interviews with senior personnel of businesses with mining operations in Africa, Butler identifies a continuation of the same colonialist mindset that saw resource ownership and racial dominance over Indigenous peoples in Canada as part of Canada?s nation-building project. Financially, culturally, and psychologically, Canadians are invested in extracting resource-based wealth in the Global South, and ? as Butler?s analysis of Canada?s influence over South Africa?s first post-apartheid mining legislation shows ? they look to legitimize that extraction through neoliberal legal frameworks and a powerful national myth of benevolence.Complementing analyses of the industry through political economy or critical development studies, Colonial Extractions is a powerful and unsettling critique of the cultural dimension of Canada?s mining industry overseas. 606 $aMineral industries$xSocial aspects$zAfrica 606 $aMineral industries$zAfrica 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMineral industries$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMineral industries 676 $a338.2096 700 $aButler$b Paula$f1960-$0920732 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460314303321 996 $aColonial extractions$92064974 997 $aUNINA
