Shipping Canals in Transition
Shipping canals have supported maritime traffic and port development for many centuries. Radical transformations of these shipping landscapes through land reclamation, diking, and canalization were celebrated as Herculean works of progress and modernity. Today, shipping canals are the sites of increasing tension between economic growth and associated infrastructural interventions focused on the quality, sustainability, and resilience of natural s…
The lifeways of small-scale gold miners
Small-scale gold mining sustains millions of people's lives and yet it stimulates environmental harms and social conflicts. Global environmental crises drive calls for fundamental change to how people live on the planet. For small-scale gold mining, this raises questions about whether current dynamics can provide a basis for sustainability transformations. Proposing the notion of gold lifeways to focus on the lived experience of mining and gold r…
Transforming matters
We have so many challenges
Currently, the impacts of Covid-19 are receiving significant global attention. This also applies to the extractive industries, where this global crisis is directing the gaze of policymakers, donors and academics alike. Covid-19 is seen as having far-reaching and disruptive consequences, especially in the case of artisanal and small-scale mining. While the authors consider this attention important, their work on artisanal and small-scale mining in…

Governing access to gold in Ghana
Studies of articulations between large- and small-scale mining have overlooked the subterranean dimension of extraction and ignored how mining companies and artisanal miners cohabit in places with long histories of small-scale mining and are affected by their different capacities to access specific mineral deposits. Drawing on a study of two gold concessions in Ghana, this article focuses on three factors that influence modalities of governing ac…
The future of artisanal miners from a large-scale perspective
The Mise en Valeur of the Gold Mines in the Haut-Niger, 1918–1939
Cet article porte sur l’orpaillage artisanal pratiqué dans les régions minières anciennes du Bouré et du Bambouk à travers la description des effets des politiques d’optimisation des pratiques d’exploitation aurifère précoloniales mises en place par l’administration coloniale française. Les rouages de l’alternance saisonnière entre agriculture et orpaillage dans la vie sociale de cette région ouest-africaine y sont décrits. L’on analyse ainsi les…

A Chief’S Fatal Car Accident
The chapter presents a range of interpretations offered by people in Burkina Faso when this fatal crash took place on 10 March 1995, killing Chief Sanem, the newly appointed chief of one of the Mossi chiefdoms. It discusses about Sally Falk Moore's example and centre on interpretations of a fatal car accident to write a contemporary history, in this case of political developments in the central part of Burkina Faso. The chapter focuses on the act…
Speed of Change
Motor Vehicles And People In Africa
This chapter focuses on different effects the motor vehicle has had upon the economies, politics, societies and cultures of Africa. Motor vehicles have had a tremendous impact on politics in Africa, transforming the state as well as the way politics have come to be conducted. The colonial state relied heavily on motor vehicles for the extension and enforcement of its control at a symbolic and functional level. The chapter shows how the use of mot…
The speed of change
n\tIn the early 1900s the motor-vehicle (car, bus, lorry or motorcycle) was introduced in sub-Saharan Africa. Initially the plaything and symbol of colonial domination, the motor-vehicle transformed the economic and social life of the continent. Indeed, the motor-vehicle is arguably the single most important factor for change in Africa in the twentieth century. A factor for change that thus far has been neglected in research and literature. Yet i…
Liberalisation of the Gold Mining Sector in Burkina Faso
Since the liberalisation of the gold mining sector in the 1990s, the state of Burkina Faso has the task of allotting exploration and exploitation permits to private companies. International junior companies are exploring vast concessions in Burkina, and publish promising prospects on the internet. Scrutinising the presence of (inter)national companies both on the web and on the ground, the article shows how a set of concessions constitutes a ‘fie…
Ritual Territories as Local Heritage? Discourse on Disruptions in Society and Nature in Maane, Burkina Faso
The issue of nature as local heritage refers to temporalities: the transmission of a valued common good over time, as well as the assessment of causes leading to degradation of the natural environment. How are such ideas shaped in local discourse and practices in the Moose chiefdom of Maane? The article focuses on the creation, development and main features of the ritual territories of earth priests over time. A pessimistic discourse on the prese…
