Instead, he brings a much-needed and too often overlooked perspective to the narrative of commodity-led growth; one that puts people – not profits – squarely at its centre. An urgent, necessary, and timely book."– Dr Oliver Balch, freelance writer and PhD in Latin American Studies from the University of Cambridge"The book is a parable for our times."- Dr John Crabtree, Research Associate at the Latin American Centre at the University of Oxford"The Heart of Our Earth tells an insightful story of resistance to large-scale mining across Latin America, skilfully weaving together interviews, case studies, and extensive research, to provide a detailed and accessible discussion of the myriad ways in which the industry is impacting communities, livelihoods, and the environment across the region."- Dr Katy Jenkins, Professor of International Development and Co-Director of the Centre for International Development at the Northumbria UniversityPraise for The Past is an Imperfect Tense:"...a powerful evocation of parental love and loss."- Claire Williams, Associate Professor of Brazilian Literature and Culture at the University of Oxford"‘This is first and foremost the compelling, relentlessly honest account of a parent’s agonised battle to love, understand and support an adopted son seemingly lost to drug dependency."- David Treece, Camoens Professor of Portuguese at King's College LondonPraise for Voices of Latin America:"This is a wonderful X ray of modern Latin America, a vision of the continent's struggles and potential futures through the eyes of its social movement leaders and intellectuals."- Duncan Green, Senior Strategic Advisor at Oxfam"Voices of Latin America reflects the human experience of everyday oppressions, struggles, resistances, and hopes that animate so much day to day conversation and grassroots politics in the region. It will be tremendously helpful for teaching as well as being an important and inspiring read in its own right."- Anthony Bebbington, Higgins Professor of Environment and Society, Graduate School of Geography, Clark University
