Description

Las historias de Campesino a Campesino se asientan en un marco político que es en sí una historia de inquebrantable resistencia ante décadas de “desarrollo”; “desarrollo” que busca eliminar al campesinado de las áreas rurales y, más recientemente, de resistencia a las políticas neoliberales que priorizan las ganancias de las corporaciones sobre el ambiente, la seguridad alimentaria y el sustento rural. Este libro es el resultado de una relación mantenida durante décadas con hombres y mujeres del MCAC, está hecho de historias escogidas para ilustrar la resistencia cultural.

What Readers and Scholars Say

“Campesino a Campesino tackles some of the most complicated political, ecological and economic conundrums of the day and, in the campesinos’ compelling stories, we come to understand that viable alternatives exist in even the most impoverished zones of rural Latin America.”

— Marc Edelman, Professor of Anthropology, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York, author of Peasants Against Globalization

“This book will prove to be a benchmark for farmer-based partnerships in sustainable development. Holt-Giménez shows us how the best agroecologists are often the farmers themselves; we have much to learn from them. Campesino a Campesino will stand for a long time as the example of meaningful participatory action research.”

— Stephen R. Gliessman, Alfred Heller Professor of Agroecology, University of California–Santa Cruz

“Grassroots development at its best! While many cross-border networks get called transnational social movements, this one’s the real thing. Holt-Giménez creatively chronicles the history and impact of twenty-five years of campesino innovation in sustainable agriculture in Mesoamerica.”

— Jonathan A. Fox, Professor of Latin American and Latino Studies, Merrill College, University of California–Santa Cruz

“Campesino a Campesino is perhaps the world’s foremost sustainable agriculture movement, and everyone concerned about the future of farming should study it. This book is the essential guide to the history and lessons of this crucial movement.”

— Peter Rosset, Land Research Action Network
