Roads matter to people. This claim in central to the work of Penny Harvey and Hannah Knox, who in this book use the example of highway building in South America to explore what large public infrastructural projects can tell us about contemporary state formation, social relations, and emerging political economies. Roads focuses on two main sites: the interoceanic highway currently under construction between Brazil and Peru, a major public private collaboration that is being realized within new, internationally ratified regulatory standards; and a recently completed one hundred kilometer stretch of highway between Iquitos, the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon, and a small town called Nauta, one of the earliest colonial settlements in the Amazon Sweeping in scope and conceptually, ambitious, Roads tells a story of global flows of money goods, and people and of attempts to stabilize inherently unstable physical and social environments.
