Contradictions between impressive levels of economic growth and the
persistence of poverty and inequality are perhaps nowhere more
evident than in rural Brazil. While Brazil might appear to be an
example of the potential harmony between large-scale,
export-oriented agribusiness and small-scale family farming, high
levels of rural resistance contradict this vision. In this volume,
individual contributions from a variety of researchers across the
field highlight seven key characteristics of contemporary Brazilian
resistance that have broader resonance in the region and beyond:
the growth of international networks, the changing structure of
state-society collaboration, the deepening of territorial claims,
the importance of autonomy, the development of alternative
economies, continued opposition to dispossession, and struggles
over the meaning of nature. By analyzing rural mobilization in
Brazil, this collection offers a range of insights relevant to
rural contention globally. Each contribution in this title
increases our understanding of alternative agricultural production,
large-scale development projects, education, race and political
parties in the contemporary agrarian context. This book was
previously published as a special issue of the Journal of Peasant
Studies.
