Mountain Justice

£9.00

Manufacturer: AK Press

Product Information

 Mountaintop removal (MTR) does exactly what it says: A mountaintop is stripped of trees, blown to bits with explosives, then pushed aside by giant equipment?all to expose a layer of coal to be mined. In recent years, local people fighting against MTR's destruction of their homes in West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia have invited volunteers from outside Appalachia's coalfields to help them bring national attention to this shameful practice, and abolish it. Since the Mountain Justice campaign began in 2005, dozens of local coalfield residents, students, Earth Firsters, and others have been arrested in nonviolent protest actions against MTR.

Open-cast mining is increasingly a threat in the UK - we can learn from the tactics and experiences of those activists who have been fighting MTR in the US.

AK Press paperback edition, authored by Tricia Shapiro. 2010.
