Challenging the main ways we debate globalization, Global Displacements reveals how uneven geographies of capitalist development shape—and are shaped by—the aspirations and everyday struggles of people in the global South.
- Makes an original contribution to the study of globalization by bringing together critical development and feminist theoretical approaches
- Opens up new avenues for the analysis of global production as a long-term development strategy
- Contributes novel theoretical insights drawn from the everyday experiences of disinvestment and precarious work on people’s lives and their communities
- Represents the first analysis of increasing uneven development among countries in the Caribbean
- Calls for more rigorous studies of long accepted notions of the geographies of inequality and poverty in the global South
"At a time when empirical work is increasingly done as fast research or sidelined altogether, it is a pleasure to see what good monographs are capable of achieving ... Werner brilliantly demonstrates how the global factory works as a set of discourses and spatial imaginaries in addition to the mechanisms of capitalist accumulation ... Global Displacements offers provocative insights enabling the reader to look behind the veils of all-too-simplistic representations that promise economic development with the help of global factory and global value chain."
