Conjuring Property: Speculation and Environmental Futures in the Brazilian Amazon - Culture, Place, and Nature
Campbell, Jeremy M. (Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Sociology, Roger Williams University)
Commendation Quotes: Campbell's writing is fluid and engaging. He demonstrates how large-holders ( "grandes") and homesteaders alike use parallel forms of graft, coercion, and chicanery to claim land. Commendation Quotes: Campbell breaks new ground in Latin American ethnographic treatments of Amazonia through the focus on layered histories of promised development that have, over the years, drawn diverse people to these places, and prompted the varied and unexpected modes of speculative accumulation described. Biographical Note: Jeremy M. Campbell is associate professor of anthropology at Roger Williams University.
