      abstract = {"Climate change ravages the earth, while wealthy elites  try to grab as much of the world's diminishing resources as  possible. As Vandana Shiva writes, land is life. But land,  and the struggle to possess it, is also power-- colonial  and corporate power, to be sure, but also the power of the  dispossessed to rise up and call for an end to the global  land grab. Grabbing Back maps this struggle, bringing  together analysis that uncover the politics of cultivation  and control. In this unprecedented collection,  on-the-ground activists join forces with critically  acclaimed scholars to documents the commodification and  consumption of space, from foreclosed homes to annihilated  rainforests, from ecotourism in Sri Lanka to the tar sands  of Montana, and to outline the strategies and tactics that  might halt the destruction"--P.
