Despite this, there has been little effort to bridge the fields of peasant and poverty studies. \u003cem\u003ePeasant Poverty and Persistence in the Twenty-first Century\u003c\/em\u003e provides a much-needed critical perspective linking three central questions: Why has peasantry, unlike other areas of non-capitalist production, persisted? Why are the vast majority of peasants poor? And how are these two questions related?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterweaving contributions from various disciplines, the book provides a range of responses, offering new theoretical, historical and policy perspectives on this peasant 'world drama'. Scholars from both South and North argue that we must build upon the peasant economy's advantages over agricultural capitalism in meeting the challenges of feeding the growing world population while sustaining the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julio Boltvinik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783608447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783608447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 1.40d","brand":"Julio Boltvinik","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425385627903,"sku":"9781783608447","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_116a8758-3fbd-4c09-aba5-6c8bd5ff45ef.jpg?v=1761538858","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peasant-poverty-and-persistence-in-julio-boltvinik-9781783608447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
