Advance Praise for Political Dynamics of Transnational Agrarian Movements

In Political Dynamics of Transnational Agrarian Movements, Edelman and Borras had a hard row to hoe: they not only strove to provide detailed information on a menu of transnational agrarian movements about which we know far too little, they also dug deep into the domestic soil of many of them, analyzing their regional, class, and ideological composition, their relations with NGOs and international institutions, and how they took on global neoliberalism. No less important for a book that covers so much ground, it is a joy to read.

Sidney Tarrow, Cornell University, author of The New Transnational Activism

For those of us who are passionate about building radical transnational agrarian movements (TAMs) it is crucial to have a clear sense of the spaces where TAMs already are or can emerge, to develop sharp and creative analyses of the problems TAMs face, and to be honest about TAMs limitations. This book offers a panoramic view of TAMs, mapping their dilemmas, strengths and promising paths, challenging our intuitions and encouraging us to think critically.

Sofa Monsalve Surez, FIAN International

Drawing upon decades of engaged research, Edelman and Borras have given us an exceptionally rich mapping of the changing field of transnational agrarian movements. They hone in on key questions involving diverse movement organizations, NGOs, donors, political arenas, representation claims, changing modalities of development assistance, and the multi-level, shifting arenas of peasant politics. This is a valuable contribution, and should be of interest to scholars and practitioners.

Margaret Keck, Johns Hopkins University, co-author of Activists Beyond Borders

The prayers of those of us who have long hungered for a comprehensive, historically deep, learned and accessible account of international agrarian movements have finally been answered in full. We will long be in debt to Edelman and Borras for this exceptional and lasting contribution to agrarian scholarship.

To the memory of Manuel Steve Quiambao, Oscar Oca Francisco, Basilio Bob Propongo, and Ernest Reyes: comrades, friends, mentors.

Jun Borras

To the memory of my mother, Judith Edelman (19232014), who brought me to ban-the-bomb marches in a stroller, involving me in social movements before I could even walk.

Marc Edelman

Political Dynamics of Transnational Agrarian Movements by Marc Edelman and Saturnino M. Borras Jr. is the fifth volume in the Agrarian Change and Peasant Studies Series from ICAS (Initiatives in Critical Agrarian Studies). The first volume is Henry Bernstein's Class Dynamics of Agrarian Change, followed by Jan Douwe van der Ploeg's Peasants and the Art of Farming, Philip McMichael's Food Regimes and Agrarian Questions and Ian Scoones Sustainable Livelihoods and Rural Development. Together, these five outstanding books reaffirm the strategic importance and relevance of applying agrarian political economy analytical lenses in agrarian studies today. They suggest that succeeding volumes in the series will be just as politically relevant and scientifically rigorous.
