“It Has Not Been Like a Dream”: Challenging the Story of Extractivism in Indonesia
Part Two: Dispossession Abroad
From: Capitalism and Dispossession
$2.50
In Chapter 9, author Tracy Glynn examines the experience of the Indigenous Karsonsi’e Dongi and Sorowako Peoples of Indonesia. The chapter explores Glynn’s own work in the region with Fourteen local women, seven from each community, and how she used photography and storytelling to record the stories of these women and the challenges they face. The chapter explores topics including the women’s awareness of the structural and intersectional nature of their oppression in relation to mining in the region, and the colonial and gendered nature of “extractivism” presented by Canadian involvement. It also critically evaluates the social and environmental impacts of Canadian investment within a context of capitalist dispossession.
