{"product_id":"plantation-life-tania-murray-li-9781478013990","title":"Plantation Life: Corporate Occupation in Indonesia's Oil Palm Zone","description":"In\u003ci\u003e Plantation Life\u003c\/i\u003e Tania Murray Li and Pujo Semedi examine the structure and governance of Indonesia's contemporary oil palm plantations in Indonesia, which supply 50 percent of the world's palm oil. They attend to the exploitative nature of plantation life, wherein villagers' well-being is sacrificed in the name of economic development. While plantations are often plagued by ruined ecologies, injury among workers, and a devastating loss of livelihoods for former landholders, small-scale independent farmers produce palm oil more efficiently and with far less damage to life and land. Li and Semedi theorize \"corporate occupation\" to underscore how massive forms of capitalist production and control over the palm oil industry replicate colonial-style relations that undermine citizenship. In so doing, they question the assumption that corporations are necessary for rural development, contending that the dominance of plantations stems from a political system that privileges corporations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tania Murray Li, Pujo Semedi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478013990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478013990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022","brand":"Tania Murray Li","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993609175295,"sku":"9781478013990","price":102.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41fbc1c1-b87d-4425-b63e-d7776c8fb0cc.jpg?v=1683325293","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plantation-life-tania-murray-li-9781478013990","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
