This engaging ethnography offers a window into the experiences of middle-class oil workers and their families, impoverished residents of shanty settlements bordering refineries, and affluent employees of transnational corporations as they struggle with rapid changes in the global economy, their country, and their lives. It reverberates far beyond the Argentine oil fields and offers a fresh approach to the critical study of neoliberalism, kinship, citizenship, and corporations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elana Shever\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804778396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804778398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Elana Shever","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065151074559,"sku":"9780804778398","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2468a18a-5e4e-44ad-a04f-8d70d67d2025.jpg?v=1768673333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resources-for-reform-elana-shever-9780804778398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
