CICADA collaborator Prof. Catherine Nolin (Geography, UNBC), together with Rights Action director Grahame Russell, denounce the cancellation of their co-edited volume, Canadian Mining in the Aftermath of Genocides in Guatemala: The Violence, Corruption, and Impunity of Contemporary Predatory Mineral Exploitation, by publisher Springer.
“The book had passed peer review and was ready last February for publication, but after several months delay Springer Nature notified them that after a legal review it had decided to cancel their contract and return the rights to the manuscript to them. It cited libel concerns.”
“We need to stand up against corporate threats to getting this kind of work out there,” [Nolin] said. “Instead [Springer] caved to that pressure, obviously.”
