Under the guise of 'development', a globalizing capitalism has
continued to cause poverty through dispossession and the
exploitation of labour across the Global South. This process has
been met with varied forms of rural resistance by local movements
of displaced farm workers, small and landless (women) peasants, and
indigenous peoples in South and East Asia, the Pacific and Africa,
who are resisting the forced appropriation of their land, the
exploitation of labour and the destruction of their ecosystems and
ways of life. In this provocative new collection, engaged scholars
and activists combine grounded case studies with both Marxist and
anti-colonial analyses, suggesting that the developmental project
is a continuation of the colonial project. The authors then
demonstrate the ways in which these local struggles have attempted
to resist colonization and dispossession in the rural belt, thereby
contributing essential movement-relevant knowledge on these
experiences in the Global South. A vital addition to the fields of
critical development studies, political-sociology, agrarian studies
and the anthropology of resistance, this book addresses academics
and analysts who have either minimized or overlooked local
resistances to colonial capital, especially in the Asia-Pacific and
Africa regions.
