PALGRAVE STUDIES IN GLOBALIZATION CULTURE AND S...

This open access book considers the concept of the hinterland as a crucial tool for
understanding the global and planetary present as a time defined by the lasting legacies of
colonialism  increasing labor precarity under late capitalist regimes  and looming climate
disasters. Traditionally seen to serve a (colonial) port or market town  the hinterland here
becomes a lens to attend to the times and spaces shaped and experienced across the received
categories of the urban  rural  wilderness or nature. In straddling these categories  the
concept of the hinterland foregrounds the human and more-than-human lively processes and forms
of care that go on even in sites defined by capitalist extraction and political abandonment.
Bringing together scholars from the humanities and social sciences  the book rethinks
hinterland materialities  affectivities  and ecologies across places and cultural imaginations
Global North and South  urban and rural  and land and water.
