Produktbeschreibung
Fueling Resistance examines conflicts over development projects in "energy frontiers"--places in the world far from sites of economic and political power that are seen as potential suppliers of new energy commodities. Neville looks at biofuels in Kenya and fracking in the Canadian Yukon and shows how organizers connect specific energy projects to broader issues of globalization, climate, food, water, and justice.
