When first published in 2008, The New Peasantries revolutionized
our ways of thinking of what constitutes the peasantry and
repeasantization. It showed how a new era of empire and
globalization was creating new forms of peasantry. This new edition
is thoroughly revised, with a reorganization of chapters and
several new chapters added. It includes a new chapter on China,
based on the author's extensive fieldwork there, and much more
information on Brazil. It integrates and critically reviews the
many publications on peasants, peasantries and peasant modes of
agricultural production published in recent years. The theoretical
discussion is enriched with more attention to the seminal work of
Chayanov. Greater attention is also paid to the construction of new
markets - a theme that will remain a major issue in the coming
decade. It combines and integrates different bodies of literature:
the rich traditions of peasant studies, development and rural
sociology, neo-institutional economics and debates on empire and
globalization. The original book has been used in several
international postgraduate courses. The experience and feedback
thus obtained has been used to simplify the structure of the book
and make it more accessible as a textbook for students.
