Reviews

How has neoliberal globalization altered the contours of Brazil's agri-food industries? According to the contributors of this well-grounded and illuminating collection, neoliberalism has strengthened the hand of corporate capital, created larger farms, fostered an unsustainable form of productivist agriculture, and has curtailed the state's ability to address the needs of family farmers, peasant producers, and minorities who strive to make a living from the land. This book is a valuable resource for scholars-including sociologists, geographers, political economists, and policy analysts-seeking a conceptually rich understanding of agri-food transformations in contemporary Brazil. -- Geoffrey Lawrence, University of Queensland
