The Peasant Question | Maryam Aslany and Surinder S Jodhka in conversation with Mukulika Banerjee

Описание: The Peasant Question | Maryam Aslany and Surinder S Jodhka in conversation with Mukulika Banerjee

In her much-anticipated forthcoming book Peasants, Maryam Aslany argues that the biggest story of the twenty-first century is the crisis of the global countryside. In this session, she joins agriculture experts Surinder S. Jodhka and Mukulika Banerjee to discuss the world's largest constituency: the two billion peasants who produce one-third of the global food supply. Expect to have all your basic assumptions - about ecology, progress and the future - debunked.

Maryam Aslany, a leading scholar on rural economy and society in the developing world, is a research scholar at Wolfson College, University of Oxford. Her first book, Contested Capital, offered an intimate account of India's aspiring rural middle classes, and provided a major contribution to the understanding of the global countryside. Her next book Peasants, will place the peasantry at the centre of the global story and offer a radically new account of 21st-century capitalism.

Surinder S. Jodhka is professor of Sociology at the Jawaharlal Nehru University and fellow at the Centre de Sciences Humaines, New Delhi. He has published extensively, including Caste, Caste in Contemporary India and a co-edited work entitled Mapping the Elite: Power, Privilege, and Inequality. He is editor of the Routledge book series, Religion and Citizenship

Mukulika Banerjee is a professor at LSE and was the Inaugural Director of the LSE South Asia Centre from 2015-2020. She has published extensively on Indian democracy and her latest book Cultivating Democracy: Politics and Citizenship in Agrarian India was published by Oxford University Press New York in 2021.
