Negotiating Economic Development: Identity Formation and Collective Action in Belize
Editorial Reviews
O. Nigel Bolland, author of The Politics of Labour in the British Caribbean
"Exceptionally well written and readable . . . likely to become increasingly relevant in order to understand future developments in Belize."
Book Description
Analyzes the development of the citrus industry in Belize over fifteen years to explore the relationship between the production of collective identities and the negotiation of development policies at the interface of global and local processes. Medina shows how citrus farmers and workers, processing companies, and politicians compete to construct shared identities, how they mobilize collective actors, and how their collective action shapes the goals, policies, and practices associated with development.
