The Gendered Violence of Canadian Extraction
Part One: Dispossession at Home
From: Capitalism and Dispossession
$2.20
In Chapter 2, author Rebecca Hall provides an expansive gendered analysis of the violence related to and actively caused by Canadian resource extraction. The chapter examines topics including gendered violence linked to domestic and international extraction; the “nation-branding” of Canada’s domestic extractive industry; the structural gendered violence of extraction across the spaces of work, home, and community as it relates to transient workforces; isolated workplaces; shift work; and the economic insecurity of increasingly precarious employment in boom-and-bust industries, which is often experienced by Indigenous women and girls.
