Converging Social Justice Issues and Movements (Paperback): Tsegaye Moreda, Saturnino M. Borras Jr, Alberto Alonso-Fradejas,... Converging Social Justice Issues and Movements (Paperback)
Tsegaye Moreda, Saturnino M. Borras Jr, Alberto Alonso-Fradejas, Zoe W. Brent
R1,230 Discovery Miles 12 300 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Converging Social Justice Issues and Movements argues that multiple contemporary converging crises have significantly altered the context for and object of political contestations around agrarian, climate, environmental and food justice issues. This shift affects alliances, collaboration and conflict among and between state and social forces, as well as within and between social movements. The actual implications and mechanisms by which these changes are happening are, to a large extent, empirical questions that need careful investigation. The majority of the discussions in this volume are dedicated to the issue of responses to the crises both by capitalist forces and those adversely affected by the crises, and the implications of these for academic research and political activist work. Interdisciplinary in nature, Converging Social Justice Issues and Movements will be of great use to scholars of agrarian politics, as well as climate and environmental justice studies. The chapters were originally published as a special issue in Third World Quarterly.

Agrarian Extractivism in Latin America (Paperback): Ben M. Mckay, Alberto Alonso-Fradejas, Arturo Ezquerro-Canete Agrarian Extractivism in Latin America (Paperback)
Ben M. Mckay, Alberto Alonso-Fradejas, Arturo Ezquerro-Canete
R1,125 Discovery Miles 11 250 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Amid the growing calls for a turn towards sustainable agriculture, this book puts forth and discusses the concept of agrarian extractivism to help us identify and expose the predatory extractivist features of dominant agricultural development models. The concept goes beyond the more apparent features of monocultures and raw material exports to examine the inherent logic and underlying workings of a model based on the appropriation of an ever-growing range of commodified and non-commodified human and non-human nature in an extractivist fashion. Such a process erodes the autonomy of resourcedependent working people, dispossesses the rural poor, exhausts and expropriates nature, and concentrates value in a few hands as a result of the unquenchable drive for profit by big business. In many instances, such extractivist dynamics are subsidized and/or directly supported by the state, while also dependent on the unpaid, productive, and reproductive labour of women, children, and elders, exacerbating unequal class, gender, and generational relations. Rather than a one-size-fits-all definition of agrarian extractivism, this collection points to the diversity of extractivist features of corporate-led, external-input-dependent plantation agriculture across distinct socio-ecological formations in Latin America. This timely challenge to the destructive dominant models of agricultural development will interest scholars, activists, researchers, and students from across the fields of critical development studies, rural studies, environmental and sustainability studies, and Latin American studies, among others.

Food Sovereignty - Convergence and Contradictions, Condition and Challenges (Paperback): Eric Holt-gimenez, Alberto... Food Sovereignty - Convergence and Contradictions, Condition and Challenges (Paperback)
Eric Holt-gimenez, Alberto Alonso-Fradejas, Todd Holmes, Martha Jane Robbins
R1,324 Discovery Miles 13 240 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A fundamentally contested concept, food sovereignty (FS) has - as a political project and campaign, an alternative, a social movement and an analytical framework - barged into global discourses, both political and academic, over the past two decades. This collection identifies a number of key questions regarding FS. What does (re)localisation mean? How does the notion of FS connect with similar and/or overlapping ideas historically? How does it address questions of both market and non-market forces in a dominantly capitalist world? How does FS deal with such differentiating social contradictions? How does the movement deal with larger issues of nation-state, where a largely urbanised world of non-food producing consumers harbours interests distinct from those of farmers? How does FS address the current trends of crop booms, as well as other alternatives that do not sit comfortably within the basic tenets of FS, such as corporate-captured fair trade? How does FS grapple with the land question and move beyond the narrow 'rural/agricultural' framework? Such questions call for a new era of research into FS, a movement and theme that in recent years has inspired and mobilised tens of thousands of activists and academics around the world: young and old, men and women, rural and urban. This book was originally published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
