Reseña del libro "Offers That Cannot Be Refused (en Inglés)"

Departing from exclusively legalistic definitions of racket-like exchanges, this book sets up extortion as an ethnographic object: as 'offers that cannot be refused'. Combining original ethnography with compelling storytelling, it traces the social life of unrefusable offers across Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Ecuador, Guatemala, India, Italy, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom.This anthropological analysis is grounded in collaborative and comparative ethnography conducted by a team of 18 anthropologists. The result is a gripping story that explores the ordinariness of extortion beyond conventional organized crime and mafias domains. The book shows how the strength of extortion social logics lies in the gradual and complicit inclusion of individuals and populations within relationships that are both attractive and violent. Taking by threatening while pretending to give something in return appears to be a crucial dimension of contemporary society from Oval Office to petrol stations, from the floors of the IMF to lawyers in provincial towns in South Asia, from the mineral-extraction activities of the Kremlin to the sandalwood smugglers of the forests of Seshachalam, extortion reverberates across various scales.This exploration offers a fresh perspective on enduring theoretical question, including the nature of law and the economy, as well as the dynamics of intimate violence, consent and capitalist accumulation in the contemporary world.
