Minería y guerra1997

"Well-researched, lucid account of the mining industry in war and peace. Especially informative on policy, the book provides a review of mining practices before the wars of independence, during the time of the insurgency, and the period after 1816 when conditions began to return to normal. Discusses questions such as the mining of silver, supplying the mines, and conditions and attitudes of the workers"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
