The great disappearing act: Documentary film and the political work of erasing capital in bolivian mining

The second section of the article seeks to link Bolivian productio…

In this article we contribute to these debates by combining economic, social, and political analyses to examine the development of the Canadian government and the role of Canadian‐headquartered companies in Bolivia's mining industry. First, we review the influence of the Canadian government's development assistanc…
