Description: Commodity Frontiers and Global Capitalist Expansion : Social, Ecological and Political Implications from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day, Hardcover by Joseph, Sabrina (EDT), ISBN 3030153215, ISBN-13 9783030153212, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This interdisciplinary edited collection explores the dynamics of global capitalist expansion through the concept of the 'commodity frontier’. Applying an inductive approach rather than starting at the global level, as most meta-narratives have done, this book sheds light on how local dynamics have shaped the process of capitalist expansion into 'uncommodified’ spaces. Contributors demonstrate that ultimately the evolution of frontier zones and their reconfiguration over time have transformed human ecology, labour relations and social, economic and political structures across the globe. Chapters examine agricultural and pastoral frontiers, natural habitats, and commodity frontiers with fossil fuels and mineral resources located in various regions of the world, including South America, Asia, Africa and the Arabian Gulf.
