PAP. Condizione: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Ghana, West Africa-the continent's leading gold producer and the top exporter of premium cocoa-rivers run gold and poisoned. Beneath the shimmer of global supply chains, illegal small-scale gold mining (galamsey) leaches mercury into waterways, tainting fish, farms, and wombs.When the Ankobra River and its sister streams test positive for toxic metals, a sprawling cast of characters-midwives, fishermen, journalists, scientists, port officers, lawyers, miners, activists, and mothers-find their lives entangled in a single chain of custody. Each holds a fragment of truth about contaminated water, stillborn babies, children with rashes and failing kidneys, and villages forced to drink from poisoned wells.From village clinics and schoolyards to courtrooms, shipping docks, and international labs, their testimonies expose a hidden economy where wedding rings, chocolate bars, and export profits are paid for with invisible harm.As corporate lobbies, state silence, and vanishing witnesses threaten the record, the struggle becomes larger than evidence-it becomes a fight for memory, justice, and the right to clean water.Told through field notes, reports, messages, and human voices that refuse to forget, When Water Remembered Blue is both eco-thriller and poetic ledger-a story of those who dare to document truth in a world built on denial.Yet this is not only a chronicle of loss. The novel illuminates paths toward repair-from community-led sampling and transparent registries to eco-reparations frameworks and collective vigilance. It is a call to bear witness, restore balance, and rewrite the future with ledgers that tell the truth.What does justice look like when even the rivers are speaking? Read, remember, and act. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
