Synopsis "The Water Defenders: How Ordinary People Saved a Country from Corporate Greed"

A new graphic adaptation, updated to address the rise of Nayib Bukele, brings the urgent and inspiring story of ordinary Salvadorans fighting a global mining corporation's environmental harms, first published in 2021, to a broader readership. In their acclaimed book The Water Defenders, Robin Broad and John Cavanagh told the story of activists in San Isidro, El Salvador, who fought multinational mining corporation OceanaGold and won--protecting their drinking water and environment from irreparable harm--despite great personal danger. Now, Jon Sack's captivating graphic adaptation brings the story to new audiences and with new urgency, as environmental progress and human rights remain under assault around the world. The book is also updated to address Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele's ascent and the subsequent arrests of five water defenders. Initially excited by the company's promises of jobs and prosperity, farmer Vidalina Morales, brothers Marcelo and Miguel Rivera, and others soon realized that the trade-off was catastrophic contamination of El Salvador's main source of fresh water. Facing corporate machinations and violence, the ordinary people of San Isidro and surrounding communities built a transnational coalition that prevailed over powerful adversaries to score an environmental victory with worldwide repercussions. Broad and Cavanagh draw on over a decade of research, interviews, and experience as allies and experts in international development to recount the harrowing saga. A blueprint for civic bravery and local-to-global activism, as well as a rich history of Central America's political conflicts and people's fights against environmental and economic exploitation, this story will inspire anyone who feels helpless against corporate malfeasance.
