• Sommario/riassunto: This book presents a compilation of in-depth, ethnographic case studies, based in original research. All the chapters focus specifically on grassroots engagements with the agents of various forms of industrial development, and are also geographically diverse, including analyses of groups based in both the global North and South, and represent a range of disciplinary perspectives. This allows the collection to explore themes that cross-cut specific localities and disciplinary boundaries, and thus to generate important theoretical insights into the complexities of grassroots engagements with industry.
