Keller Easterling
How outlaw spatial products - resorts, information technology campuses, retail chains, golf courses, and ports - act as cunning pawns in global politics. In Enduring Innocence, Keller Easterling tells the stories of outlaw spatial products - resorts, information technology campuses, retail chains, golf courses, ports, and other hybrid spaces that exist outside normal constituencies and jurisdictions - in difficult political situations around the world. These products - familiar commercial formulas of retail, business, and trade - aspire to be worlds unto themselves, self-reflexive and innocent of politics. Yet, Easterling shows, in reality these enclaves can become political pawns and objects of contention.
