  Natural resources are not natural. Far from being universal, what counts as a natural resource is constantly in flux and highly contested. The field of resource geography explores questions of how and with what effects natural resources emerge as such, as well as the degree to which they shape and are shaped by economic relations, political formations, and embodied subjectivities. This chapter reviews contemporary trends in resource geography with an emphasis on its intersections with political geography. It highlights two concepts that have recently emerged as analytical indicators for the field of resource geography: extractivism and the plantation. Extractivism emphasizes the appropriation of nature and unequal trade relations at multiple political scales, whereas the plantation draws attention to the socioecological transformations and frequently racialized forms of exploitation that occur at sites of resource production. The two sets of literature expose one another's lacunae even as they elucidate many of the shared characteristics of the field.
