Descriere magazin:
A well-rendered and -documented tale of exploitation in the developing world ( Kirkus Reviews ) with deep resonance in the present day In a book Paul Farmer called a gem of a social history linking two countries stuck in uncomfortable embrace for well over a century, award-winning author and filmmaker Gregg Mitman tells a sweeping story of capitalism, racial exploitation, and environmental devastation, as Firestone transformed Liberia into America\'s rubber empire. Scouring remote archives to unearth a story of promises unfulfilled for the vast numbers of Liberians who toiled on rubber plantations built on taken land, Mitman peppers this history with a wealth of fascinating details and interesting characters ( Foreign Affairs ), revealing a system of racial segregation and medical experimentation that reflected Jim Crow America--on African soil. Called a brilliant, compelling read by Princeton scholar Rob Nixon, Empire of Rubber , now available in paperback, provides a riveting narrative of ecology and disease, of commerce and science, and of racial politics and political maneuvering--the hidden story of a corporate empire whose tentacles reach into the present.
