Oil barrels and coffee beans - the fight for natural resources in L.America


Today I attended the launching of "Oljetønner & kaffebønner - kampen om naturressursene" (Oil barrels and coffee beans - the fight for natural resources), 
2008'annual book of the Latin America Group in Norway (LAG)

Unfortunately the book is available only in Norwegian . As I am struggling to learn the language, I'm gonna use it for pedagogical purposes as well ahahahah. So maybe I can translate some texts to English and share with you. 
Anyway, it offers a broad vision over what has happened in every L. American country in the past 2 years, focusing on political and social aspects. And there are very interesting articles related to "the biomass revolution", how oil companies and indigenous peoples are facing each other in the Amazon, and about the Oil for development program- another kind of Norwegian aid.
