Eric Hirsch is Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at Franklin & Marshall College.
"With Acts of Growth, Eric Hirsch beautifully navigates the
shifting terrain of southern Peru as he critically examines
neoliberal capitalism's prescriptions for local performances of
plenitude and growth amid dispossession. His brilliant ethnography
of development initiatives offers rich new insights into the region
and broader contexts of change."-Florence E. Babb, University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"Acts of Growth is a compelling account of how 'extractive
care' insinuates itself into everyday structures of feeling in
Andean Peru. Reframing conversations about extraction, Indigenous
entrepreneurship, and Indigenous theorizations of non-human
relations, Eric Hirsch sees one of the oldest stories in the
Americas with fresh eyes. Powerful and insightful."-Maria Elena
Garcia, University of Washington
