Description
Book SynopsisExtraction/Exclusion critiques the idea of inclusion as the solution to exclusion in contemporary resource extraction. Drawing on scholarship from across the social sciences, empirical chapters in this collection show that extraction is predicated on exclusions. Extraction/Exclusion portrays how inclusionary language and practices often result in further exclusions, concealing unchanged systems of domination and dispossession, and reproducing violent exploitative processes on the ground.
