Taking a multidisciplinary and global approach, this edited book
examines the dynamic role of plantations as productive,
socio-political and ecological forms throughout imperial and
post-colonial worlds spanning multiple and broad temporalities.
Showcasing an expansive range of case studies across different
geographies, the collection sheds light on the heterogeneity of
plantations and offers insights into the afterlives, spectres and
remnants of systems that have been analysed as schemes of
production, extraction and authority. Focusing on the expansion of
plantation systems throughout various political-economic and
ecological projects, and across the modern (and post-modern)
period, allows the authors to move beyond analyses that often deal
with individual empires through human-centered lenses. The
contributors explore resistance to the mechanisms of extraction and
control that plantations and their afterlives demanded, shedding
light on their excesses, contradictions, failures and deviations.
Offering a comprehensive treatment of global plantations, this book
provides valuable reading for researchers with an interest in the
socio-political and environmental effects of colonialism and
imperialism in their various guises. Chapters 1, 8 and 11 are
