Abstract:
This analysis examines the domain of artisanal and small-scale mining in the 20th century Peru. Despite operating informally, this activity persists, leading to potential conflicts and significant environmental pollution. However, it is integral to a multifaceted social and economic issue. Viewed through an anthropological lens, the development of the artisanal miners’ social milieu, shaped by Andean logic, identifies it as an Andean economy. The book centers its discussion on elucidating the traits of habit formation within this economic context, mining rationality, social conflicts, power dynamics among the involved stakeholders, and the insights gained from this intricate landscape.
