Reviews
This fascinating and original book explores one of the most unusual feats of politics and engineering of the twentieth century. Itaipu Dam's unique position among megadams as a binational corporation forces us to completely rethink the relationship between energy and sovereignty, and Folch invites us into the story with first-rate research, keen analysis, and narrative verve. -Kregg Hetherington, Concordia University Hydropolitics is a lively account of the political maneuvering that led to the construction and operation of what was until recently the planet's largest hydroelectric project. It speaks to urgent questions in environmental anthropology while advancing conversations in political and legal anthropology around sovereignty and social theories of the state. -Caroline Schuster, Australian National University
