Two volumes of International Development Policy are dedicated to the paradoxes and futures of green extractivism, with analyses of experiences from five continents. In this, the first of these two volumes, 16 authors offer a critical and nuanced understanding of the social, cultural and political dimensions of extraction. The experiences of communities, indigenous peoples and workers in extractive contexts are deeply shaped by narratives, imaginaries and the complexity of social contexts. These dimensions are crucial to making extraction possible and to sustaining its expansion, but also to identifying possibilities for resistance, and to paving the way for alternative, post-extractive economies.    This volume is accompanied by IDP 16, The Afterlives of Extraction: Alternatives and Sustainable Futures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface   List of Figures   List of Abbreviations   Notes on Contributors   1 Introduction: Global Lives of Extraction    Filipe Calvão, Matthew Archer and Asanda Benya    Part 1  Community, Labout and Social Life  2 Migrants and the Politics of Presence on the South African Platinum Mining Belt    Melusi Nkomo    3 Chromite Mining Cooperatives, Tribute Mining Contracts, and Rural Livelihoods in Zimbabwe, 1985–2021    Joseph Mujere    4 ‘Le fléau de la soude caustique’: Bauxite Refining, Social Reproduction, and the Role of Women’s Promotion Groups    Luisa Lupo    5 Time for an Outcome Evaluation?
