The book by Ander Izagirre from San Sebastián “Potosí” takes us to Bolivian soil to address the social drama behind the work of local communities in the mines. Through on-site observation and face-to-face interviews with the protagonists, it places us in the reality of mining in Bolivia . Another face of the international arbitrations of the mining sector that have nourished the international legal news of the country. “ Potosí ” is an agile read and Ander Izagirre takes us through the skin of Bolivia through the skin of its protagonists, Bolivians who use the thankless work in the mine to move forward, children with ideals of justice who turn to the hill to climb towards objectives, sometimes humble, sometimes, in the reader's view, almost unattainable. I read this book a few weeks ago and it kept reminding me of the great arbitrations that we have discussed in the magazine, such as those of: the Chilean mining company Quiborax , the Canadian company SAS or the Chinese company Sinosteel . Behind and next to those names, those great arbitrations, there are veins that open so that men, women and children survive.
