What are the issues shaping contemporary African peasant movements?
Are they fundamentally democratic or anti-democratic? Are they
defensive and local in their organization and aspirations or should
they be seen as taking a leading role in a wider process of
economic, social, and political transformation? Are they in the
state's pocket or can they pose a threat to state power? And how do
they fit in with other organs of African civil society, with
overseas donor groups, and with imposed programs of structural
adjustment? In this collection of important new research findings
from all corners of Africa these questions and others are addressed
while adding another dimension to the democratization debate: what
of the real grassroots, the majority of Africa that is rural? Are
modern rural peasant movements relevant to the debate at all or do
they still only engage in what has been called "the politics of
everyday politics," with the "weapons of the weak?"
