River-Sand Mining: An Ethnography of Resource Conflict in China (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004505902)

Anyone who cares about the environment cannot ignore the overmining of river-sand. This book explores how river sand in Zhuang villages in China has been overexploited with disastrous environmental (or social and environmental) consequences, despite official state ownership of the sand, national and local laws regulating mining, and peasant resistance.
