Seeding Empire
American Philanthrocapital and the Roots of the Green Revolution in Africa
Angličtina
85 b
In Seeding Empire, Aaron Eddens rewrites an enduring story about the pastand futureof global agriculture. Eddens connects todays efforts to cultivate a Green Revolution in Africa to a history of American projects that introduced capitalist agriculture across the Global South. Expansive in scope, this book draws on archival records of the earliest Green Revolution projects in Mexico in the 1940s and 1950s, as well as interviews at development institutions and agribusinesses working to deliver genetically modified crops to millions of small-scale farmers across Africa. From the offices of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the halls of the worlds largest agricultural biotechnology companies to field trials of hybrid maize in Kenya, Eddens shows how the Green Revolution fails to address global inequalities. Seeding Empireinsists that eradicating hunger in a world of climate crisis demands thinking beyond the Green Revolution.
