In particular, Madeleine Fairbairn focuses on developments in two of the most popular investment locations, the US and Brazil, looking at the implications of financiers\u2019 acquisition of land and control over resources for rural livelihoods and economic justice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the heart of <em>Fields of Gold<\/em> is a tension between efforts to transform farmland into a new financial asset class, and land\u2019s physical and social properties, which frequently obstruct that transformation. But what makes the book unique among the growing body of work on the global land grab is Fairbairn\u2019s interest in those acquiring land, rather than those affected by land acquisitions. Fairbairn\u2019s work sheds ethnographic light on the actors and relationships\u2014from Iowa to Manhattan to S\u00e3o Paulo\u2014that have helped to turn land into an attractive financial asset class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thanks to generous funding from UC Santa Cruz, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellopen.org) and other repositories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Madeleine Fairbairn<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornellpress.cornell.edu\/book\/9781501750083\/fields-of-gold\/\">Fields of Gold: Financing the Global Land Rush<\/a>, Cornell University Press, 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Guest Seminar Series is organized collectively by the CSI PhD students.
