Opis

Analysing empowerment within the context of certified Fairtrade wine plantations, this book considers how different ethics interact and draws attention to the continuing development challenges faced in South Africa. It gives voices to the marginalised who experience 'empowerment' within the context of their relations with the other stakeholders who shape this engagement. It thus contributes to broader critical social science debates around ethical development and questions of power and empowerment in development interventions. It will be a key resource for those working in development studies, post-colonial studies, environmental geography and politics.
