The expanding mining industry in the Indigenous Atacameño-Likanantay territories in the hyper-arid Salar de Atacama in Chile are linked to the ecological harm to groundwater. The book addresses recent socioeconomic and political conditions it calls ‘advanced extractivism’ and asks how both ecological harm and mining economies are sustained.
