Summary
A thoughtprovoking conversation about the diamond industry presented in words and pictures by the multiawardwinning creator of The Island and The Mediterranean. "Mama, if I was to dig a hole in our garden, would I find a diamond? No, darling, there are no diamonds here. Where are diamonds, then? Oh, in other countries. In Africa for example ..." A powerful parable that explores how the desire for endless riches perpetuates chains of inequality, corruption and social problems
