✦ Synopsis

Extraction/Exclusion draws and builds on scholarship from across the social sciences to show that natural resource extraction is predicated on exclusions. This innovative workportrays how inclusionary language and practices paradoxically often result in further exclusions, concealing unchanged systems of domination and dispossession and reproducing violent exploitative processes on the ground.
