"Agrarian Change and Economic Development" is a landmark volume
that examines the historical experience of the relationship between
agrarian change and economic development.
Because agriculture was until recently man's dominant occupation,
scholars have traditionally drawn little attention to its immense
historical importance. The essays in this book redress this
balance, and illustrate the significance of the western world's
escape from an overwhelmingly agrarian condition. It is therefore
an ideal work for encouraging those concerned with current problems
to perceive agricultural development as professional historians see
it, and to question the oversimplified historical analogies
commonly employed in development economics.
Presenting historical examples of change within particular
agricultural systems, and discussing their implications for
national economic development, both social scientists and planners
less concerned with historical revision will have equal reason to
welcome thesecase studies of the long-run interaction of agrarian
change and economic activity. This classic book was first published
in 1969.
Originally published in 1967, this was the first book to discuss
why agricultural supply became more ‘responsive’ and to provide
broadly based evidence of the ways in which that
‘responsiveness’ may have influenced the growth of the economy.
The editor chose 7 essays, reprinted in full, to illustrate altered
perspectives of agricultural change. His substantial introduction
places the beginnings of a significant rise in farm output as far
back as the mid-seventeenth century and concludes that agriculture
played a vital but complicated role in the economy of
eighteenth-century England.

In Abolitionist Intimacies, El Jones examines the movement to
abolish prisons through the Black feminist principles of care and
collectivity. Understanding the history of prisons in Canada in
their relationship to settler colonialism and anti-Black racism,
Jones observes how practices of intimacy become imbued with state
violence at carceral sites including prisons, policing and borders,
as well as through purported care institutions such as hospitals
and social work. The state also polices intimacy through mechanisms
such as prison visits, strip searches and managing community
contact with incarcerated people. Despite this, Jones argues,
intimacy is integral to the ongoing struggles of prisoners for
justice and liberation through the care work of building
relationships and organizing with the people inside. Through
characteristically fierce and personal prose and poetry, and
motivated by a decade of prison justice work, Jones observes that
abolition is not only a political movement to end prisons; it is
also an intimate one deeply motivated by commitment and love.
Live from the Afrikan Resistance! is the first collection of spoken
word poetry by Halifax's fifth Poet Laureate, El Jones. These poems
speak of community and struggle. They are grounded in the political
culture of African Nova Scotia and inherit the styles and
substances of hip-hop, dub and calypso's political commentary. They
engage historical themes and figures and analyse contemporary
issues - racism, environmental racism, poverty and violence - as
well as confront the realities of life as a Black woman. The voice
is urgent, uncompromising and passionate in its advocacy and
demands. One of Canada's most controversial spoken word artists, El
Jones writes to educate, to move communities to action and to
demonstrate the possibilities of resistance and empowerment.
Gathered from seven years of performances, these poems represent
the tradition of the prophetic voice in Black Nova Scotia.
