In the Chocó rainforests of Colombia, miners turn to gold to get by, whilst worrying about the declining richness of subsoils, state troops, and paramilitaries. Underground Politics follows the everyday sociopolitical life of this lawless gold frontier, revealing how miners navigate state power in a context of political neglect.
