At a time when promises and projects of 'just transition, ' 'fair trade gold, ' and 'green coal' abound, this impressive volume makes a crucial intervention by asking us to consider what inclusionary rhetoric and practices actually do. Examining how forms of inclusion and exclusion are produced, experienced, and challenged across a broad range of natural resource extraction sites, the authors urge us to move beyond simple binaries that not only have come to define corporate and governmental attempts to address the ills in resource extraction, but also continue to go unchallenged in much of the dominant scholarship on this topic. A great resource for teaching, this volume is poised to make an important contribution to scholarship, far beyond any single discipline. --Mette High, University of St Andrews Extraction/Exclusion draws upon a deep lineage of research on governing extractive economies but offers something new and exciting. Rather than deploying the standard binaries, the contributors, scholars and activists both, explore the dialectical relations in which exclusion and inclusion operate simultaneously in suturing companies, communities, stakeholders, and governments into complex, dynamic, and unstable extractive assemblages. In making use of a heady mix of feminist and decolonial theory while attentive to questions of Indigeneity, racial capitalism, and scale, this rich collection of case studies drawn from the Global North and South, offers fresh insight into contemporary natural resource extraction. --Michael Watts, Class of 63 Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley Resource extraction relies on multiple forms of exclusion, some overt and some hidden. Extraction/Exclusion provides sharp and critically important scalar, historical, socio-ecological, and ontological analyses that unearth and upend narratives that undergird many 'green' development projects and climate 'solutions.' This edited volume is necessary reading for policymakers, non-governmental and governmental bodies, scholars, and activists seeking to become better informed about violent exploitations and dispossessions occurring globally. --Farhana Sultana, Syracuse University
