This edited collection brings together a broad range of case
studies to highlight the role of Canadian corporations in
producing, deepening, and exacerbating conditions of dispossession
both at home and abroad. The book does not present the cases as
exceptional instances of greed or malice, but rather as expected
and inherent consequences of contemporary capitalism (and in some
cases, settler colonialism). One of the core purposes of the book
is to combine and synthesize analyses of dispossession within and
outside of Canada. These processes are often connected, as the
normalization of settler colonialism at home can lead to
indifference and acceptance of dispossession caused by Canadian
companies abroad. While the literature tends to treat the two as
distinct and unrelated phenomena, this book brings local and global
cases together in order to present a rigorous analysis of the role
of Canadian corporate activity in processes of dispossession. The
book includes a diversity of theoretical approaches related to the
overarching theme of capitalism and dispossession. However, they
share in common a critical analysis of capitalism and its
implications on marginalized people at home and abroad. This
includes political economy approaches that draw on the work of
theorists such as David Harvey, important interventions from
Indigenous studies and settler colonial studies, feminist
approaches using the work of scholars such as Silvia Federici, and
the concept environmental racism, which draws on both critical race
theory and environmental justice literatures.
