Abstract: Abstract Subterranean Matters is an excellent addition to a growing list of books on resource politics in Bolivia and the Andes more generally. Andrea Marston presents a highly engaging, readable account of mining cooperatives that, in contrast to most small-scale miners in other countries, play an enormously important role in Bolivia’s extractive economy. Based on nearly 2 years of ethnographic research in the Bolivian Andes, the book engages critically with the literatures on materiality, resource extraction, and resource nationalism.
