Elizabeth Emma Ferry

Elizabeth Emma Ferry 's first book, Not ours alone: value, patrimony and collectivity in contemporary Mexico, studies a silver mining cooperative in Guanajuato, Mexico, drawing on anthropological discussions of value, substance and inalienability to explore idioms of "patrimony" in the cooperative and in Mexico more generally. Her forthcoming book Minerals, collecting and value across the US-Mexican border examines how different forms of value convene in mineral specimens and how the process of creating value helps to create US-Mexican transnational space. She is currently developing new research on the relation between gold mining and gold in financial markets.
