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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTania Murray Li is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto and author of \u003ci\u003eLand's End: Capitalist Relations on an Indigenous Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Duke University Press. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Pujo Semedi is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Universitas Gadjah Mada and author of \u003ci\u003eClose to the Stone, Far from the Throne: The Story of a Javanese Fishing Community, 1820s-1990s\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 17, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750839976224,"sku":"9781478013990","price":166.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/76fc9b71908fc4c9c21b2a1b861f5d94.webp?v=1779959115","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/plantation-life-corporate-occupation-in-indonesias-oil-palm-zone-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
