Peasant Politics of the Twenty-First Century
Author: Marc EdelmanPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501773461
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
Peasant Politics of the Twenty-First Century illuminates the transnational agrarian movements that are remaking rural society and the world's food and agriculture systems. Marc Edelman explains how peasant movements are staking their claims from farmers' fields to massive protests around the world, shaping heated debates over peasants' rights and the very category of "peasant" within the agrarian organizations and in the United Nations. Edelman chronicles the rise of these movements, their objectives, and their alliances with environmental, human rights, women's, and food justice groups. The book scrutinizes high-profile activists and the forgotten genealogies and policy implications of foundational analytical frameworks like "moral economy," and concepts, such as "food sovereignty" and "civil society." Peasant Politics of the Twenty-First Century charts the struggle of agrarian movements in the face of land grabbing, counter agrarian reform, and a looming climate catastrophe, and celebrates engaged research from Central America to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

La cocina futurista
Author: F. T. Marinetti y FílliaPublisher: Editorial GEDISA
ISBN: 8497848993
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
«Contrariamente a las críticas que se le han hecho, y que pudieran hacérsele, la revolución culinaria futurista presentada en este volumen se propone el grande, noble y útil designio de modificar radicalmente la alimentación de nuestra raza, fortificándola, dinamizándola y espiritualizándola con la ayuda de alimentos absolutamente nuevos en los que la experiencia, la inteligencia y la imaginación forman un sustituto económico a la trivialidad, la repetición y el gasto. Nuestra cocina futurista, regulada para las grandes velocidades como el motor de un hidroavión, parecerá loca y peligrosa a los ojos de un paseante melindroso, cuando en realidad tiende a crear una armonía entre el palacio de los hombres y su vida de hoy y de mañana. Con algunas célebres y legendarias excepciones, los hombres se han alimentado hasta el presente como las hormigas, las ratas, los gatos y los bueyes. Con nosotros, los futuristas, nace la primera cocina auténticamente humana, el arte de cocinar que, como todo arte, excluye el plagio y exige la originalidad creadora. Publicamos esta obra no por azar durante una crisis económica mundial cuyo desarrollo futuro puede parecer incierto pero que con seguridad nos supondrá la depresión y el pánico. A este pánico nosotros oponemos una cocina futurista, es decir: el optimismo a la mesa.»

Global Land Grabbing and Political Reactions 'from Below'
Author: Marc EdelmanPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351622404
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
When the 2007-2008 food and financial crises triggered a global wave of land grabbing, scholars, activists and policy practitioners assumed that this would be met with massive peasant resistance. As empirical evidence accumulated, however, it became clear that political reactions ‘from below’ to land grabbing were quite varied and complex. Violent resistance, outright expulsions, everyday ‘weapons of the weak’ and demands for better terms of incorporation into land deals were among the outcomes that emerged. Readers of this collection will encounter a multinational group of scholars who use the tools of social movements theory and critical agrarian studies to examine cases from Argentina, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Uganda, Mali, Ukraine, India, and Laos, as well as the Rio +20 Sustainable Development Conference. Initiatives ‘from below’ in response to land deals have involved local and transnational alliances and the use of legal and extra-legal methods, and have brought victories and defeats. This book was first published as a special issue of The Journal of Peasant Studies.
Empowering Women
Author: Carmen Diana DeerePublisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 9780822972327
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
The expansion of married women's property rights was a main achievement of the first wave of feminism in Latin America. As Carmen Diana Deeere and Magdalena Leon reveal, however, the disjuncture between rights and actual ownership remains vast. This is particularly true in rural areas, where the distribution of land between men and women is highly unequal. In their pioneering, twelve-country comparative study, the authors argue that property ownership is directly related to womenÆs bargaining power within the household and community, point out changes resulting from recent gender-progressive legislation, and identify additional areas for future reform, including inheritance rights of wives.
