Understanding ExtrACTIVISM

Culture and Power in Natural Resource Disputes

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Understanding ExtrACTIVISM examines current practice in, and activist responses to, the natural resource extraction industry. Following an activist anthropological approach, Willow provides a broad overview of the diverse extractive industries operating around the world, examining how culture and power dynamics inform extractivist practice disputes. Through a series of engaging case studies, she argues that contemporary natural resource conflicts are deeply rooted in a culturally-constituted 'extractivist' mindset and embedded in global patterns of political inequity. Offering a synthesizing framework for making sense of complex interconnections among environmental, social, and political dimensions of natural resource disputes, Understanding ExtrACTIVISM is key reading for students and researchers in the field of environmental anthropology, as well as activists.
