Description

Explore the complex realities of natural resource extraction in this scholarly volume from Routledge. ExtrACTION: Impacts, Engagements, and Alternative Futures provides a critical ethnographic look at how resistance movements respond to extraction processes around the world. By analyzing diverse case studies from North, Central, and South America, Australia, and Central Asia, this book examines why communities fight to change extraction policies. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the similarities and differences between global resistance efforts, including their successes and failures. The text addresses essential topics such as environmental justice, risk and disaster, and the creation of sacrifice zones. It also examines the economic cycles of boom and bust, while looking at the specific roles played by governments, free markets, and civil society. This book is an important resource for those studying the social and political consequences of resource management and the fight for environmental equity.
