David Thomas and Veldon Coburn will discuss their co-edited book, Capitalism & Dispossession: Corporate Canada at Home and Abroad.
About the book
This edited collection brings together a broad range of case studies to highlight the role of Canadian corporations in producing, deepening and exacerbating conditions of dispossession both at home and abroad. Rather than presented as instances of exceptional greed or malice, the cases are described as expected and inherent consequences of contemporary capitalism and/or settler colonialism.

What is a tertulia? A tertulia can be described as a kind of philosophy café where participants talk about big thinkers, artists and ideas. This winter and spring, Tertulias Fredericton has put together a series on activists and social movements that have shaped our lives and allowed us to imagine a better future.
Tertulias Fredericton is supported by Milda’s Pizza, the NB Media Co-op, publisher of videos of the Tertulia talks and Fernwood Publishing.
