Agrarian Marxism de Michael Levien

Agrarian Marxism: Critical Agrarian Studies

Editat de Michael Levien, Michael Watts, Yan Hairong
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2020
This comprehensive volume advances heterodox reconstructions of agrarian Marxism on the occasion of Marx’s 200th birth anniversary. While Marxists have long criticized ‘populists’ for ignoring capitalism and class, populists have charged Marxists with historical determinism. This ongoing debate has now reached something of an impasse, in part because new empirical work addressing the complex contemporary patterns and conjunctures of global agrarian capitalism offers exciting new horizons, along with new and generative theoretical reconstructions of Marxism itself. This book helps to point the way beyond this impasse, and illustrates that agrarian Marxism remains a dynamic theoretical program that offers powerful insights into agrarian change and politics in the twenty-first century.




This book was originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Peasant Studies.
