Julie Michelle Klinger draws attention to the fact that the rare earths we rely on most are as common as copper or lead, and this means the implications of their extraction are global. Klinger excavates the rich historical origins and ongoing ramifications of the quest to mine rare earths in ever more impossible places. Klinger writes about the devastating damage to lives and the environment caused by the exploitation of rare earths. She demonstrates in human terms how scarcity myths have been conscripted into diverse geopolitical campaigns that use rare earth mining as a pretext to capture spaces that have historically fallen beyond the grasp of centralized power. These include legally and logistically forbidding locations in the Amazon, Greenland, and Afghanistan, and on the Moon. Drawing on ethnographic, archival, and interview data gathered in local languages and offering possible solutions to the problems it documents, this book examines the production of the rare earth frontier as a place, a concept, and a zone of contestation, sacrifice, and transformation Rare earth metals Social aspects Rare earth metals Political aspects Rare earth metals China Inner Mongolia Rare earth metals Brazil Amazonas Lunar mining Rohstoffgewinnung (DE-588)4178386-4 gnd Seltenerdmetall (DE-588)4132099-2 gnd Umweltschaden (DE-588)4117286-3 gnd Brasilien (DE-588)4008003-1 gnd China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd Innere Mongolei (DE-588)4096284-2 gnd u 162 Nicht erneuerbare Ressourcen, Bodenschätze, Bergbau idsuzh UJ u 760 Rohstoffe, Bodenschätze und Umwelt idsuzh UJ u 780 Politik/Gesellschaft und Umweltprobleme idsuzh UJ u 823.c Ethnogeography idsbb FG Online version Klinger, Julie Michelle, 1983- Rare earth frontiers 978-1-5017-1460-3 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 zbzmon201804l stad idszbz Z2 UGEOG-20180420 nebis EN et SzZuIDS BS/BE RERO RE01050 RE01050 RE010500001 LC TN490 TSB 18485 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2018 A 22903 NEBIS UFBI UFBI ULGEZ B/2017/0179 IDSBB A310 A310 MAG MKB 1A 5059 NELA3101807 / Akz.:ba/mvkd/k IDSBB 100 1- Klinger Julie Michelle 1983- (DE-588)1160965242 Verfasser aut IDSBB 775 08 Klinger, Julie Michelle, 1983- Online version Rare earth frontiers 978-1-5017-1460-3 NEBIS 100 1- Klinger Julie Michelle Verfasser aut RERO 100 1- Klinger Julie Michelle 1983- (IDREF)225718073 cre NEBIS UZH50 EBI01 UFBI https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf_uzh50/5/RareEarthFrontiers_006433485.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf SWISSBIB 512782717
