Opis

Dan Rose draws on the fact and metaphor of colonization to demonstrate that the central motive in the contemporary United States has been-and continues to be-the corporate form, the purpose of which is to create new resources, new products, new landscapes, new ideas, and new markets. These corporations determine who we are and what we can do.

Recenzje

"Rose proposes an approach that simultaneously takes both a scholarly and a poetic formulation. . . . Such well-crafted writing is rarely found. . . . Its truly unique presentation, and focus that goes beyond ethnography to incorporate important theoretical issues, is bound to make this a much discussed book."--Journal of Anthropological Research
