The historical emergence of centralised mineral resource governance in Ghana can be tied to its failed colonially transplanted legal system. This book offers a sobering reflection of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) formalisation, with a focus on its complex operationalisation in formerly colonized societies. Through its thought-provoking analysis, engagement with the archives and emphasis on knowledge co-production, the study crucially examines how sustainability is engendered in indigenous, small-scale mining operations. Its reliance on decolonial legal pluralism and indigenous philosophy seeks to ignite meaningful conversations which are grounded in environmental responsibility, transparency and accountability in the administration of access to mineral rights.
