BOOK LAUNCH
Welcome to a book launch for Plantation Life: Corporate Occupation in Indonesia’s Oil Palm Zone by Tania Li and Pujo Semedi. Professor Tania Li will give a short presentation followed by comments from Professor Thembela Kepe (Geography, U of T) and Professor Bhavani Raman (History, U of T).
“Plantation Life is an eye-opening book on many fronts. It offers up an ethnographically and historically rich account of forms of life in Indonesia’s corporate plantation zone and has much to give about method, collaboration, and evidence. Tania Murray Li and Pujo Semedi show how the plantation is a presence both fickle and contradictory, at once an occupying force and a source of neglect: occupation and abandonment, order and disorder, theft and calculability, alignment and fracture all coexist in a rough-and-tumble assemblage in which political economy and technologies of power are simultaneously in play. An important book.” — Michael Watts, Class of ’63 Professor, University of California, Berkeley
