Our Resisting Mining Book Club puts authors, academics, and activists in conversation with friends and supporters of London Mining Network. At each event, we bring you a presentation and discussion with the author (or editor) of a different book that deals with mining, community resistance, and/or related issues. Every event is free (although we always welcome donations), online, and open to all. Below, you can see the list of upcoming and past book club events – click the image to see more info.
In most cases, we will be able to email a PDF copy of the book to everyone who registers!
