Reviews

Highly recommended. * Choice This stimulating book will be of interest to a wide range of readers, including those who want an accessible, well-written guide to peasant struggles and agrarian change in Latin America.... In a world of escalating inequality, precarity, and violence, such an approach to intellectual labour is more urgent than ever. * Journal of Agrarian Change The book is quite unique... The concept is original and intriguing, and brings together an outstanding array of scholars to pursue the questions Eric Wolf raised in different Latin American cases. * Avi Chomsky, Salem State University.
