Abstract

The central concern of this book is to examine in a comparative framework, the ways in which grassroots mobilizations transform and institutionalize themselves, forge new collective identities and articulate new strategies for survival and resistance. Debal K SinghaRoy focuses on three major radical movements-Tebhaga and Naxalite in West Bengal and Telangana in Andhra Pradesh. Based on empirical data and supported by a wide range of secondary sources, the author argues that as spontaneous expressions of discontent against oppression, domination and marginalization turn into institutionalized m

Abstract

At a time when a majority of scholars engage in studies on class, religion, ethnicity and gender, this study forcefully demonstrates that peasants as a category and their problems continue to excite considerable academic debate. Divided into two parts, the book first reconstructs the political world of the peasants of Punjab and forms the empirical base on which rests the subsequent theoretical and methodological discussion. It captures their struggles at the national level as well as their everyday struggles on purely class or peasant issues. The second part makes important interventions in t

Abstract

The Peasants of Ottobeuren offers an interesting perspective on one of the enduring problems of early modern European history: the possibilities for economic growth and social change in rural society. Based on the voluminous records of the Swabian Benedictine monastery of Ottobeuren, this study underscores the limitations of the traditional narrative of a sixteenth-century boom which foundered on the productive rigidities of the peasant economy and then degenerated into social crisis in the seventeenth century. Population growth did strain resources at Ottobeuren, but the peasantry continued to produce substantial agricultural surplus. More importantly, peasants reacted to demographic pressure by deepening their involvement in land and credit markets, and more widely and aggressively marketing the fruits of their labour. Marriage and inheritance underwent a similar process of commercialization which made heavy demands on the peasantry, but which maintained a degree of social stability through the devastations of war, plague and famine.

Abstract

La reforma agraria emprendida por el gobierno militar de Velasco Alvarado fue uno de los hechos determinantes de la transformación del Perú rural en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Aunque en la última década, el gobierno de Alberto Fujimori puso fin al proceso de la reforma agraria, derogando sus leyes y procurando abrir un mercado de tierras liberal para las actividades agrícolas y ganaderas, el campo peruano no volvió a ser el anterior a 1970. Pero ¿en qué ha devenido entonces? ¿Cuál es la situación, concretamente, de las antiguas sociedades de pastores del altiplano peruano, que tras vivir en un régimen latifundista por espacio de un siglo o más, pasaron a estar organizadas en empresas de tipo cooperativo tuteladas por el Estado? y ¿qué ha ocurrido con ellas, cuando finalmente fueron dejadas en libertad para reorganizarse como mejor pudieran, en medio de las nuevas agencias del Estado, organizaciones de nuevas iglesias y «oenegés» apoyadas por la cooperación extranjera? Después de un largo e intenso trabajo de campo en la provincia de Melgar, en el departamento peruano de Puno, Ethel del Pozo afronta esas preguntas, para mostrarnos cómo se enfrentan los retos de la mundialización entre los «huacchilleros» de una de las zonas más caracterizadas de los Andes del sur.
