Thomas offers a critical analysis of the aerospace giant Bombardier. In Bombardier Abroad, Thomas examines several cases of Bombardier’s work in the high-speed rail sector in South Africa, Israel/Palestine and China/Tibet and argues that these projects are deepening existing social and political tensions. Thomas illustrates the ways in which the corporation is inserting itself into highly contested social and political climates and how the rail projects are a form of infrastructure that entrenches and exacerbates existing conditions of dispossession and inequality. Thomas also examines the various ways in which the Canadian state supports the work of Bombardier in these countries.” – Fernwood\nDavid P. Thomas is an associate professor in the Department of Politics and International Relations at Mount Allison University, on unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) and Mi’kmaw Peoples.
