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.
