The Social Lives of Land

From the shaping of new homelands in the Cherokee Nation to the export of sand from Cambodia to shore up urban expansion in Singapore, The Social Lives of Land reveals the often-hidden dynamics of contemporary social and political change.

Michael Goldman, Nancy Lee Peluso, and Wendy Wolford bring together contributions across multiple disciplines and geographic locations to weave novel theoretical and empirical insights to analyze how people are living on, with, and from their land. From Mozambique to India, Indonesia, Ecuador, and the colonial United States, the scholars in this collection draw on original research to uncover histories and re-tell stories with a focus on the lived experiences of rural and urban land dispossession and repossession.
