Abstract

Dans les années soixante, les espaces désertifiés du territoire français, sont le théâtre d’un «retour à la terre», exprimant le refus des contraintes liées au système économique libéral et à la société urbaine et de consommation. A partir de sources variées, ce phénomène est étudié, depuis les années 1960, dans une perspective historique, à l’échelle locale du département de l’Ardèche. Cependant, des comparaisons avec d’autres espaces, permettent d’en dégager la signification et la portée au plan national. Avant-garde empreinte de complexité, le «retour à la terre» met en lumière le «centre», de la société qu’il interroge. En effet, celle-ci connaît de profondes mutations, générant un doute qui alimente les motivations et les représentations des néo-ruraux. La rencontre forcée entre anciens et nouveaux paysans, provoque un choc de cultures qui met en jeu des représentations antinomiques de soi et de l’autre. Il en résulte une série de conflits, articulés autour de notions fondatrices, exprimant le caractère insupportable de la remise en cause imposée par la présence néo-rurale. Enfin, l’acculturation réciproque et l’intégration des nouveaux venus, amorcée entre 1977 et 1983, est lente et difficile, même si elle est favorisée par le «déplacement de l’utopie» et par la modification du contexte économique et politique. Elle conduit à une recomposition des rapports de pouvoir et se traduit par des apports importants au milieu local, en termes démographique, agricole, politique et dans la transformation de l’espace rural.

Abstract

Forgotten People deals with people living at the fringes of the Indonesian society. It describes and analyses their livelihoods and styles of making a living from an insider perspective. While Indonesia has experienced steady economic growth for more than a decade, the livelihoods and lifestyles of poor people and migrants confronted with poverty and insecurity have received less attention. This book describes and analyses diversity in livelihood strategies, risk-taking and local forms of social security (social welfare) of people living below or close to the Indonesian poverty line. It puts two categories of forgotten people at the centre. Peasants, living in remote areas in rural Java, and Madurese migrants craving for a better life in urban and rural East Kalimantan. A full text Open Access version is also available.

Abstract

The world's food system is broken, and today's peasant societies are at a crossroads. This collection explores the multiplicity of problems faced by global family agricultures in the current neoliberal era. The contributors, including include Samir Amin, Joao Pedro Stedile and Utsa Patnaik, argue that an understanding of the revival of peasant struggles for their social emancipation and legitimate right of access to land is essential. Financialisation is undermining their work, and must be resisted if they are to construct a new, socially just food system. This is a response to the confusion surrounding how these urgent problems are understood, with the authors offering solutions as to how they should be resolved. They express the importance of the co-operation and cohesion of the various struggles taking place across Latin America, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Europe, and how they must share a common vision for the future.

Abstract

During the Zimbabwean crisis, millions crossed through the apartheid-era border fence, searching for ways to make ends meet. Maxim Bolt explores the lives of Zimbabwean migrant labourers, of settled black farm workers and their dependants, and of white farmers and managers, as they intersect on the border between Zimbabwe and South Africa. Focusing on one farm, this book investigates the role of a hub of wage labour in a place of crisis. A close ethnographic study, it addresses the complex, shifting labour and life conditions in northern South Africa's agricultural borderlands. Underlying these challenges are the Zimbabwean political and economic crisis of the 2000s and the intensified pressures on commercial agriculture in South Africa following market liberalization and post-apartheid land reform. But, amidst uncertainty, farmers and farm workers strive for stability. The farms on South Africa's margins are centers of gravity, islands of residential labour in a sea of informal arrangements.
