Rethinking Development via the Agrarian Question.

This paper employs contemporary peasant mobilizing (and demobilizing) discourses and practices to evaluate the terms in which we understand global development today.There are two parts to this exercise, which is an exercise in historical specification. It seeks to clarify why the terms of the original ‘agrarian question’ no longer apply to agrarian change today, and to understand how such mobilization brings new understandings of what development practices in the twenty-first century will need to address if humanity is to survive. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
