Dispossession and the Environment - Rhetoric and Inequality in Papua New Guinea

Zusammenfassung Paige West’s searing study of Papua New Guinea reveals how a range of actors produce and reinforce inequalities in today’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.
