Samenvatting
The story of the effect multinational capital has on indigenous communities in Bangladesh, based on local testimonies.
What happened when Chevron, a multinational mining company, opened a gas plant right next to densely populated villages in rural Bangladesh?
This book reveals contradictory ways that local people attempt to connect to, and are disconnected by, foreign capital. Commentators on the situation have different frameworks, whether of dispossession and scarcity, the success of Corporate Social Responsibility, or imperialist exploitation and corruption. Yet as Gardner argues, what really matters in the struggles over resources is which of these stories are heard, and the power of those who tell them.
Based on the narratives of dispossessed land owners, urban activists, mining officials and the rural landless, Discordant Development shows the real picture behind the effect multinational capital has on indigenous communities.
