The volume is situated within the broader subject area of business and human rights, and uses various methodologies to share the perspectives of affected individuals and communities.

Industry Reviews

"This is an important book that provides an overview how communities are affected negatively by business activities and their struggles to access remedies. The editors recognise that these are not necessarily new stories considering their main themes, but they are particular stories, which remind us of our shared humanity. - Hannah Gracher, Nordic Journal of Human Rights "
