Praise for&#160;Empire of Rubber: Named One of the Best Books of the Fall by&#160;Bloomberg &#8220;Mitman peppers this history with a wealth of fascinating details and interesting characters.&#8221;&#8212;Foreign Affairs &#8220;A fascinating and enlightening page-turner that uncovers Liberia&#8217;s often-overlooked importance in U.S. history.&#8221;&#8212;Foreign Policy&#10;&#34;A well-rendered and -documented tale of exploitation in the developing world.&#34; &#8212;Kirkus Reviews &#34;[Empire of Rubber] documents the fragile arrangement between Firestone and the Liberian government that has existed for 95 years, surviving civil war and power plays on both sides, proving lucrative for some while causing great devastation with its racism and the depletion of natural resources.&#8221;&#8212;Booklist  &#8220;A harrowing and richly detailed account of U.S. tire manufacturer Firestone&#8217;s exploitation of Liberian workers in the 20th century . . . Mitman marshals a wealth of material to make his case, which encompasses ecological injustice, racial capitalism, and medical racism. The result is a devastating expos&#233; of the tensions between &#8216;the interests of white capital and the desire for Black self-determination.&#8217;&#8221; &#8212;Publishers Weekly&#160;(starred review) &#8220;With the Firestone archives closed to him, Gregg Mitman has to strain for a clear view of how Harvey Firestone transformed a small Liberian rubber plantation into a Goliath that broke a British monopoly on latex. But Mitman&#8217;s lack of access to company archives makes&#160;Empire of Rubber&#160;a better book. He finds plenty of Liberians and Americans, or the archives and accounts left by their predecessors and by dissident scholars, to fill in the blanks. The reader is left with a gem of a social history linking two countries stuck in uncomfortable embrace for well over a century.&#8221;  &#8212;Paul Farmer, Kolokotrones University Professor and chair of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard University, and author of&#160;Fevers, Feuds, and Diamonds: Ebola and the Ravages of History  &#160;&#8220;Empire of Rubber&#160;is at once an iconic story and utterly unique. In Mitman&#8217;s clear, complex, and compelling narrative, he provides privy to the measured and malevolent workings of the U.S. as an imperial formation. Mitman&#8217;s account . . . is told with erudition and grace in a powerful narrative that combines the political imaginaries and grounded conditions of racism, capitalism, and visionaries long at the heart of imperial democracies.&#8221; &#8212;Ann Laura Stoler, Willy Brandt Distinguished University Professor of Anthropology and Historical Studies and director, Institute for Critical Social Inquiry, New School for Social Research, and author of&#160;Duress: Imperial Durabilities in Our Times  &#8220;Gregg Mitman has delivered a brilliant, compelling read.&#160;Empire of Rubber&#160;draws together the long history of commodity colonialism, the imperial roots of Liberia&#8217;s recent civil war, and the fraught relations between American medical institutions and racism at home and abroad.&#160;Empire of Rubber&#160;dramatizes intersectional thinking at its very best.&#8221; &#8212;Rob Nixon, Barron Family Professor of Environment and Humanities, Princeton University, and author of&#160;Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor  &#8220;In this brilliantly rendered, epic tale of American racial capitalism in West Africa, Gregg Mitman details the profound and devastating effects of plantation agriculture. In the process he unearths the political and legal machinations of Firestone rubber in undermining Black sovereignty, and reveals the violence of corporate philanthropy in the guise of development.&#8221; &#8212;Julie Livingston, professor of history, and social and cultural analysis at New York University, MacArthur fellow, and author of&#160;Improvising Medicine
