Natural resource extraction and primary commodity export remain persistent features of the Latin American economy. This edited volume traces the power of labor in extractive sectors in Latin America starting in the 1980s and shows how labor shapes national export sectors, economies, politics, and societies more broadly.Kristin Ciupa and Jeffery R. Webber bring together a team of international experts who look at labor in several extractive sectors—including oil and gas, mining and agriculture, and migrant labor. They present a variety of viewpoints and case studies, exploring themes of the strategic organizing potential of extractive workers, the rise of informal labor and its impact on organizing and worker solidarity, and migrant labor-power as extraction. The book analyzes relationships between workers, extractive companies, states, political parties, national social sectors, and global commodity markets. The Labor of Extraction in Latin America puts the question of labor organizing to the forefront of discussions on Latin America’s ongoing history of extractive capitalism, its effects on nature, and resistance against it.Contributions by: Fernando Cazón, Kristin Ciupa, Aleida Hernández Cervantes, Phillip A. Hough, Christopher Little, Omar Manky, Andrea Marston, Viviana Patroni, Guido Starosta, Jeffery R. Webber, Anna Zalik

The Political Economy of Oil in Venezuela re-examines oil dependency debates, situating these within an analysis of Venezuela’s Bolivarian Process from 1999-2016. Drawing on interviews with Venezuelan politicians, economists, scholars and activists, as well as extensive archival research, the book explores the potential for class struggle to shape national oil development and conditions of oil dependency. It situates Venezuela’s Bolivarian Process within a broader regional shift to the left in Latin America, the structures of the global oil market and Venezuela’s role as oil-exporter in the global economy, popular class struggle in Venezuela arising out of the neoliberal period, and the history of Venezuelan rentier accumulation. Ultimately, the book explores the question of agency in conversation with structural analyses of rent and natural resource dependency.
