This comprehensive examination explores the origins, dynamics, and potential transformation of extractivism into a progressive development path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe extraction of natural resources and raw materials assumed a distinctly capitalist character in the 20th century, as the global north extracted primary commodities from the global south to fuel capital accumulation. This book delves into whether extractivism, despite its detrimental socioenvironmental consequences and the formidable resistance movements it has sparked, can be repurposed as a sustainable post-development strategy. By examining diverse sectoral manifestations of extractivism, including mining, fossil fuels, and agriculture, this book analyzes the interplay between the forces of resistance propelled by the expansion of extractive capital and alternative visions for a more sustainable and livable future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Latin American experience stands out as a focal point in this inquiry, as both the inherent vulnerability of capitalism to crises and the emergence of resistance dynamics to \"extractive capital\" have had their most profound impacts during the neoliberal era. This book offers valuable insights to researchers and students specializing in development studies, economics, political economy, environmental studies, Indigenous studies, and Latin American affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 771g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032295213\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44130909946106,"sku":"9781032295213","price":128.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1679474296327_book.jpg?v=1679997379","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/from-extractivism-to-sustainability-scenarios-and-lessons-from-latin-america-9781032295213","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
