dc.description.abstractThe literature on community-mining enterprise conflict is currently dominated by discourses on equity, compensation, land ownership and environmental degradation. The present study examines this conflict from an ethno-ecological perspective, bringing into focus the meanings that communities attach to "nature" and cultural artefacts. The study examines how such meanings intersect with local experiences of social displacement, compensation and resource extraction, and how they mediate and catalyse the witnessed conflict. The study was conducted among the indigenes of titanium-rich Kwale, in Kenya's Coast Province, displaced in 2007 to make way for large-scale titanium mining operations.
