Review Quotes:
"Those interested in understanding the current 'state of play' on the issues surrounding Canadian mining in Africa, and the significant environmental, social, and economic impacts it has, will find this book to be a valuable contribution. The editors are to be commended for featuring diverse voices and for putting together an intellectually stimulating volume."
--Kernaghan Webb, Department of Law and Business, Ted Rogers School of Management, Ryerson University"Addressing an important and often ignored issue, this volume illustrates the scholars' extensive research on Africa's extractive resource sectors and governance dynamics. It makes its points with examples across Africa, offers a critical analysis of Canada's role in Africa's extractive sector, and advances lessons for best practices. It is a major contribution to research."
