Reviews
'Decentering Biotechnology is a lucid and timely book. It illuminates how the biotechnology regime exercises power to create new avenues for profit through the commodification of nature. Anyone interested in understanding how patents are employed in opposition to public welfare needs to read this book.' Brett Clark, North Carolina State University, USA 'Decentering Biotechnology: Assemblages Built and Assemblages Masked offers an at once scholarly and refreshingly clear account of a core component of contemporary technoscientific imaginaries - biotechnology. Theoretically sophisticated, and carefully historically documented, Carolan incisively highlights some of the key legal, social, economic and scientific issues of the 21st century.' Adrian Mackenzie, Lancaster University, UK 'Decentering Biotechnology touches on so many aspects of agricultural biotechnology, it may be of interest to those previously unfamiliar with this rich area of research in sociology.' Contemporary Sociology
