The Anthropology of Precious Minerals

The Anthropology of Precious Minerals

University of Toronto Press
2019
sidottu
Why do people single out gold, sapphires, diamonds, and other minerals as particularly "precious"? What makes precious minerals "precious"? Drawing from ethnographic and cross-cultural research, this collection of anthropological essays and case studies answers these questions by exploring humans’ multifaceted relationships with the minerals they deem "precious." The Anthropology of Precious Minerals addresses the entanglement of humans and minerals, with a particular focus on the practices of scrappers, miners, and hunters as they work to extract value. The editors draw from history, archaeology, and ethnography, and remind us that "preciousness" must always be understood in relation to complex cultural, political-economic, and semiotic systems of value.

From the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia to the villages of the River Nile, they called him The Preacher. To know him was to love himhear him preach, and you did not forget. Prior to his spiritual conversion, this incredible mountain preacher could neither read nor write, yet with Gods divine touch, he won thousands of souls for Jesus Christ. His success came from his love for people. You have to love the people, he once said. Many preachers love to preach, but they do not know how to love people. Not only did this outpouring of love touch lives, so did his discernment of Holy Scripture and the uncontrollable tears he shed for lost souls.
