Synopsis

The expansion of the pulp and paper industry is an important cause of land and water conflicts in the South. This book analyzes the threats to livelihood, soil and biodiversity generated by large-scale pulpwood plantations in Asia, Africa and Latin America. It explains how the wood-fibre industry captures subsidies, redistributes risk, manages paper demand and evades, digests and regulates resistance. The book provides insights into the history, causes and workings of globalization in the pulp and paper industry, and suggests possible alternative paths.

Media Reviews
'Packed with detail and backed by crystal-clear analysis, this book is an essential tool for all who support the social movements of the South that are resisting this theft of land and livelihood.' - Marcus Colchester, Director, Forest Peoples Programme. 'This is a book of incontestable importance. It shows how an industry widely assumed to be benign is responsible for misery, destitution an destruction. Pulping the South is a wake up call to the world.' - George Monbiot, author of 'No Man's Land' 'This book provides exhaustive and provocative scrutiny of the social and environmental impacts of the expansion of the pulp and paper industry in the South.' - Krishna Ghimire, Project Leader, United Nations Research Institute for Social Development, Geneva
