Global Displacements Summary

Global Displacements: The Making of Uneven Development in the Caribbean by Marion Werner

Challenging the main ways we debate globalization, Global Displacements reveals how uneven geographies of capitalist development shape and are shaped by the aspirations and everyday struggles of people in the global South. * Makes an original contribution to the study of globalization by bringing together critical development and feminist theoretical approaches * Opens up new avenues for the analysis of global production as a long-term development strategy * Contributes novel theoretical insights drawn from the everyday experiences of disinvestment and precarious work on people s lives and their communities * Represents the first analysis of increasing uneven development among countries in the Caribbean * Calls for more rigorous studies of long accepted notions of the geographies of inequality and poverty in the global South

Global Displacements Reviews

At a time when empirical work is increasingly done as fast research or sidelined altogether, it is a pleasure to see what good monographs are capable of achieving Werner brilliantly demonstrates how the global factory works as a set of discourses and spatial imaginaries in addition to the mechanisms of capitalist accumulation Global Displacements offers provocative insights enabling the reader to look behind the veils of all-too-simplistic representations that promise economic development with the help of global factory and global value chain. - Christian Berndt, Economic Geography, Vol. 93 No. 2.
