Dispossession and the Environment

Rhetoric and Inequality in Papua New Guinea

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Paige Westâ s searing study of Papua New Guinea reveals how a range of actors produce and reinforce inequalities in todayâ s globalized world. She shows how racist rhetorics of representation underlie all uneven patterns of development and seeks a more robust understanding of the ideological work that capital requires for constant regeneration.
