First sentence: finds themselves to be a target of industrialism's struggle to dominate the natural world; they are possessed of resources, lands, and waters, now demanded by urban areas and industrial machinery often thousands of miles distant. Al Gedicks' book is a strong testimony to this conflict, through careful and compassionate documentation of the oral and written histories of communities facing huge multinational corporations and governments wedded to international debt and the pursuit of industrial-based development plans.
