"These are not forgotten places!" A conversation with Karen Rignall about rural conflict, renewable energy, and building deep relationships in southeastern Morocco

Description

Abstract:
Karen Rignall’s recent book, An Elusive Common: Land, Politics, and Agrarian Rurality in a Moroccan Oasis (Cornell University Press, 2021), examines the dynamics of rural life and land in southeastern Morocco in the context of globalized capitalism. In conversation with Commodity Frontiers, Karen discusses the historical continuities, the local encounters, and the practical and conceptual challenges that have guided her from rural land conflicts to Morocco’s contested energy transition.
