Canadian diamonds are cast with an imagined purity as though they had emerged by magic. However, these diamonds are mined on Dene land and extracted by people who fly in from afar, separated from their families for long periods of time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdopting a decolonizing and feminist approach to political economy, \u003ci\u003eRefracted Economies\u003c\/i\u003e analyses the impact of diamond mining in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The book centres on Indigenous women\u0026amp;#x2019;s social reproduction labour – both at the mine sites and at sites of community, home, and care – as a means of understanding the diffuse impacts of the diamond mines. Grounded in ethnographic work, the narratives of northern Indigenous women\u0026amp;#x2019;s multiple labours offer unique insight into the gendered ways northern land and livelihoods have been restructured by the diamond industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRebecca Jane Hall draws on documentary analysis, interviews, and talking circles in order to understand and appreciate the – often unseen – labour performed by Indigenous women. Placing this day-to-day labour at the heart of her analysis, Hall shows that it both reproduces the mixed economy and resists the gendered violence of settler colonialism as exemplified by extractive capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
