Resource Rebels | Praise
“[A]
most valuable addition to the activist literature that links native studies
and international and environmental politics together. More generally it is
a damning indictment of the contemporary global economy, a work that deserves
a wide readership.”
—Simon Dalby, Capitalism,
Nature, Socialism
“A
detailed and informative account of modern day genocide that reveals the dark
side of the global economic system.…A compelling argument that the price
of our oil is not paid at the pump but with the lives of indigenous people.”
—Janet Lloyd, Z Magazine
“Gedicks
helps us to understand how these struggles have taken place, why, and what we
can do in the future.”
—Winona LaDuke
“Gedicks'
first book, New Resource Wars, graphically
mapped the dramatic rise of native-led resistance to extractive corporations.
Now he brings his incisive analysis to bear on the consequences of globalization.”
—Roger Moody
“For
anyone whose knowledge on the way that mining and oil corporations operate isn't
full as it might be, this book is an excellent introduction, placing the people
who are affected by mineral extraction firmly at the centre of things.”
—Pippa Gallop, Corporate
Watch Magazine
“Gedicks
hits a home run in his chronicle of corporate greed, global resource extraction,
and the strategies employed by native and indigenous peoples to fend off this
onslaught.”
—Robert D. Bullard, author of Confronting Environmental Racism
“I
wish I'd had this book while I was researching the hidden costs of America's
addiction to overconsumption. Using dramatic stories from around the globe,
Al Gedicks gives voice to the indigenous people who pay the ultimate price for
Progress, Western Style. Shocking, but vitally important, Resource Rebels
deserves to be widely read, especially by those policy makers who allow this
pillage of the earth and its people to continue. Check it out!”

The All-Consuming Epidemic
