Abstract

For four decades, The Journal of Peasant Studies (JPS) has served as a principal arena for the formation and dissemination of cutting-edge research and theory. It is globally renowned as a key site for documenting and analyzing variegated trajectories of agrarian change across space and time. Over the years, authors have taken new angles as they reinvigorated classic questions and debates about agrarian transition, resource access and rural livelihoods. This introductory essay highlights the four classic themes represented in Volume 1 of the JPS anniversary collection: land and resource dispossession, the financialization of food and agriculture, vulnerability and marginalization, and the blurring of the rural-urban relations through hybrid livelihoods. Contributors show both how new iterations of long-evident processes continue to catch peasants and smallholders in the crosshairs of crises and how many manage to face these challenges, developing new sources and sites of livelihood production.

导言:农业政治经济学的新方向

四十年来，《农民研究杂志》(JPS)一直是形成和传播前沿研究和理论的主要场所。它是全球知名的记录和分析跨越空间和时间的农业变化轨迹的关键站点。多年来，作者从新的角度重新提出了关于农业转型、资源获取和农村生计的经典问题和辩论。这篇介绍性文章强调了JPS周年纪念文集第一卷所代表的四个经典主题:土地和资源剥夺、粮食和农业金融化、脆弱性和边缘化，以及通过混合生计使城乡关系变得模糊。作者展示了长期明显过程的新迭代如何继续将农民和小农置于危机的十字路口，以及许多人如何设法面对这些挑战，开发新的生计生产来源和地点。

期刊介绍： A leading journal in the field of rural politics and development, The Journal of Peasant Studies (JPS) provokes and promotes critical thinking about social structures, institutions, actors and processes of change in and in relation to the rural world. It fosters inquiry into how agrarian power relations between classes and other social groups are created, understood, contested and transformed. JPS pays special attention to questions of ‘agency’ of marginalized groups in agrarian societies, particularly their autonomy and capacity to interpret – and change – their conditions.
