Über dieses Buch
How arsenic emissions polluted a northern mining town – and the ways activists and Indigenous people fought to protect their land, health, and safety.
The Price of Gold traces the troubling history of one of Canada’s most contaminated mine sites and the Indigenous community, labour unions, and environmentalists who fought back against the federal government and the mining companies.
