De la contraportada

In a world of flux, as old territorial borders dissolve and new nations
come together, who controls ideas, information, and creativity? Who
patrols the new frontiers? This volume opens a window to the dark side
of globalization and the struggles for autonomy it has generated --
from forest disputes to indigenous land claims to conflicts between
farmers and the patent owners of genetically modified seeds. The work
of Palestinian poets, whose attachment to the land is explored in a
powerful Coda, shows that a politics of place brings to the fore
intense feelings of attachment, something common to all struggles over
territory and autonomy.
