"""This evocative book explores more-than-human intimacies in the marginal milpas in El Salvador. The seamless blending of methodological innovations, reflexive writing, and ontological openness provides a powerful example of how scholarship might decenter what John Law calls the 'one-world-world, ' while richly attending to connections between people and plants. Kneeling Before Corn is an innovative work that will appeal as much to those interested in agroecology as new materialist theory.""--Terese Virginia Gagnon, co-editor of Moveable Gardens: Itineraries and Sanctuaries of Memory"
