La Ruta del Litio: Voces del Agua is a photojournalistic book that emerged after three years of in-depth research in the northern provinces of Argentina: Catamarca, Salta, Tucumán and Jujuy. Through its pages is a revealing and moving journey through the struggles of indigenous peoples and peasant communities in defence of their water and ancestral territories.
This book is not only a visual record of the devastation caused by mining projects in search of lithium, but also a vibrant testimony of resistance and hope. It clearly exposes how the extraction of this resource, sold as the solution to the global energy crisis, in reality involves the destruction of vital ecosystems and the systematic violation of human and environmental rights.
The voices of community leaders such as Don Marcos Pastrana, Román Guitián, Rosa Farías, Érica Cañari, among others, teach us that the defence of water and land is a struggle for life itself. This book is an urgent call to recognise and support these resistances, to value the commons over the empty promises of industrial progress.
In its narrative and photography, this book invites us to reflect on the devastating impact of extractivism and, at the same time, to value the communities that guard the territories for these and future generations. La Ruta del Litio: Voces del Agua is an essential testimony to understand the complexity of the socio-economic crisis in the region.
