Peasant Politics of the Twenty-First Century sheds light on the transnational agrarian movements that are reshaping rural societies and the global food and agriculture systems. Marc Edelman delves into how peasant movements are asserting their claims from farmers' fields to massive protests worldwide, shaping intense debates over peasants' rights and the definition of the peasant within agrarian organizations and the United Nations. Edelman traces the rise of these movements, their objectives, and their alliances with environmental, human rights, women's, and food justice groups. The book critically examines high-profile activists and the overlooked genealogies and policy implications of foundational analytical frameworks such as moral economy and concepts like food sovereignty and civil society.
Peasant Politics of the Twenty-First Century explores the challenges faced by agrarian movements in the face of land grabbing, counter-agrarian reform, and the impending climate catastrophe. It showcases engaged research from Central America to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva. The book celebrates the resilience and activism of peasants around the world as they fight for their rights and livelihoods.
Peasant Politics of the Twenty-First Century is a valuable resource for scholars, activists, and policymakers interested in understanding the dynamics of rural transformation, social justice, and the global food system. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the struggles and successes of agrarian movements and offers insights into the potential for building more inclusive and sustainable societies.
