Found in half of supermarket products, from food to cosmetics to plastics, it has shaped the world in which we live. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003ePalm Oil: The Grease of Empire, \u003c\/i\u003eMax Haiven tells a sweeping story that touches on everything from empire to art, from war to food, and from climate change to racial capitalism. By tracing the global history of this ubiquitous elixir we see how capitalism creates surplus populations: people made dependent on capitalist wages but denied the opportunity to earn them - a proportion of humanity that is growing in our age of racialized and neo-colonial dispossession. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Inspired by revolutionary writers like Eduardo Galeano, Saidiya Hartman, C.L.R. James and Rebecca Solnit, this kaleidoscopic and experimental book seeks to weave a story of the past in the present and the present in the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Max Haiven\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745345824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745345826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 4.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Max Haiven","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981824262399,"sku":"9780745345826","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fb21845-1c77-4a10-a2d8-20d1453780de.jpg?v=1683257725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/palm-oil-max-haiven-9780745345826","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
