"After the 1925 discovery of diamonds in the semidesert of the northwest coast of South Africa, De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd. virtually proclaimed its dominion over the whole region. In the town of Kleinzee, the company owns all the real estate and infrastructure and controls and administers both the town and the industry.".
"Peter Carstens's In the Company of Diamonds draws a stark and startling portrait of this closed community and analyzes the power and hegemonic process associated with that power."--BOOK JACKET.
