Peasants are a majority of the world's poor. Despite this, there
has been little effort to bridge the fields of peasant and poverty
studies. Peasant Poverty and Persistence in the Twenty-first
Century provides a much-needed critical perspective linking three
central questions: Why has peasantry, unlike other areas of
non-capitalist production, persisted? Why are the vast majority of
peasants poor? And how are these two questions related?
Interweaving contributions from various disciplines, the book
provides a range of responses, offering new theoretical, historical
and policy perspectives on this peasant 'world drama'. Scholars
from both South and North argue that, in order to find the policy
paths required to overcome peasants' misery, we need a seismic
transformation in social thought, to which they make important
contributions. They are convinced that we must build upon the
peasant economy's advantages over agricultural capitalism in
meeting the challenges of feeding the growing world population
while sustaining the environment. Structured to encourage debate
among authors and mutual learning, Peasant Poverty and Persistence
takes the reader on an intellectual journey toward understanding
the peasantry.
