| Publisher Description: In this wide-ranging collection, leading scholars from different disciplines critically examine the new extractive imperialism bearing down on the Americas. Recent changes in the global economy, particularly the growing demand for energy and natural resources, have produced a massive and devastating pillage of resources in the developing world by multinational corporations and States.
