"Congolese logging camps are places where mud, rain, fuel smugglers, and village roadblocks slow down multinational timber firms; where workers wage wars against trees while evading company surveillance deep in the forest; where labor compounds trigger disturbing colonial memories; and where blunt racism, logger machismo, and homoerotic desires reproduce violence. In Rainforest Capitalism Thomas Hendriks examines the rowdy world of industrial timber production in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to theorize racialized and gendered power dynamics in capitalist extraction. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among Congolese workers and European company managers as well as traders, farmers, smugglers, and barkeepers, Hendriks shows how logging is deeply tied to feelings of existential vulnerability in the face of larger forces, structures, and histories. These feelings, Hendriks contends, reveal a precarious side of power in an environment where companies, workers, and local residents frequently find themselves out of control. An ethnography of complicity, ecstasis, and paranoia, Rainforest Capitalism queers assumptions of corporate strength and opens up new means of understanding the complexities and contradictions of capitalist extraction"--

A cause du raccourcissement de la distance géographique et culturelle, le monde est devenu un village. Ce constat contraste pourtant avec la déficience de la communication interculturelle et des relations interpersonnelles au niveau local, notamment en Occident. C'est dire que le village semble redevenu un monde lointain. Comment et pourquoi communiquer dans un monde marqué par les phénomènes de la globalisation, de la localisation, des migrations et du multiculturalisme ? Comment vivre ensemble ? Voilà autant de questions qui se posent avec urgence en Europe, une terre qui abrite de plus en plus de populations immigrées. L'auteur propose ses réflexions basées sur une riche bibliographie et un travail de terrain rigoureux, mais aussi sur un vécu d'immigré, notamment en Belgique. Il pose, en dernier ressort, l'intériorisation de la culture de l'altérité comme condition nécessaire du vivre ensemble interculturel.
