New issue of ‘The Global South’ (Duke University Press) out now.
It features a special issue on “Sustainability and the Global South”. A part of the issue features a book review symposium, edited by political economist Franklin Obeng-Odoom, which centers land in the sustainability debate: “Under All Sustainability Problems, the Land.” I was fortunate enough to have my 2020 Book on “Farming as Financial Asset: Global Money and the Making of Institutional Landscapes” be at the Center of the symposium.
In this the special issue, Mariko Frame, a political economist of Tanzania and elsewhere in Asia and Africa, Joseph Yaro, a development geographer who works on Ghana and elsewhere in Africa, and Anna Sturman, a Marxist political economist working on Aotearoa New Zealand, discuss the book. I add response. The theme of ecological imperialism looms large in the debate.
