The social norms guiding inheritance shape gendered, generational and class-based relations of power in rural areas, and intra-family land rights can be lost when inheritance norms shift. In Cambodia's northeastern Ratanakiri province, rapid agrarian change over the past decade—including the expansion of land grabs, cash cropping and Khmer in-migration—is transforming decision-making around inheritance. Based on a large sample of qualitative interviews and focus groups carried out in 2016 and 2020 with Indigenous and Khmer communities, we focus on the ways in which intergenerational and gendered obligations of care are being reconfigured as land scarcity and inequalities within rural areas become more pronounced. We argue that social norms around land inheritance are in flux, with a proliferation of diverse practices emerging including a shift from matrilineal to bilateral inheritance amongst some Indigenous families, the deferment of marriage and inheritance decisions due to a lack of land and parents taking on debt to buy land and secure care in older age. These changes are reconfiguring gendered and generational identities in relation to land and have potentially negative consequences for land-poor families, in particular, for poor Indigenous women. These changes are symptoms of a larger ‘crisis of care’ in rural communities.</p>","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.12579","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139977820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors present the life of workers and communities in the <i>Natco</i> and <i>Priva</i> oil palm plantations, the former state-owned and the latter privately owned. This detailed approach to ‘plantation life’ conceptualizes the presence of corporations in the form of occupation and shows how such occupation creates certain forms of abandonment. The authors deploy a rich ethnographic and historical approach to place these plantations at the crossroads of different unique conjunctures, spatial, social, legal and political, which enable ‘corporate profits’ and produce certain ‘forms of life’. This book's content is based on more than 5 years of field research in Tanjung, in Indonesian Borneo, incorporating a decolonial, collaborative and situated approach.</p><p>From 2010 to 2015, the authors along with a team of 60 undergraduate and graduate students conducted interviews, surveys and participant observation. This fine-grained ethnography contributes to a burgeoning scholarly conversation about plantations and the ‘plantationocene’ (Davis et al., <span>2019</span>; Haraway, <span>2015</span>; Haraway &amp; Anna, <span>2019</span>; Tsing, <span>2015</span>; Wolford, <span>2021</span>). This time, Li and Semejo turn their attention to the interfaces between corporations and state power that enable plantations to be profitable endeavours. Their account shows how the operation of modern plantations implies wider transformations in the life of villagers and workers in the plantation zone through the forms of occupation that it entails. In the enforcement of state mandates to bring ‘development’ to remote areas, companies decide which forms of life they nurture and which ones they abandon. In this capacity, plantations limit access of community members to land and water and create new forms of citizenship, in conditions outside the control of local communities. In this corporate-shaped landscape, communities have adapted their livelihoods to resist and, in a way, also benefit from the plantation corporations by receiving bribes or even stealing. The authors present their argument in seven chapters, including the introduction and conclusion.</p><p>In the introduction, Li and Semedi lay out the theoretical concepts informing the book ‘corporate occupation’, ‘imperial debris’ and ‘extractive regimes’. In Indonesia, plantation corporations fulfil the double mandate of serving the public good and creating profits in a way that delegates state power to those corporations.

Rather than engaging too much in the debate on the causes and consequences of the crisis, the central aim of the book is to analyse ‘the nature of the intimate experience of extraordinary crises by the poor such as the workers in the plantation frontiers’ (p. 5). ‘Alienation’ is the main answer to the question of how workers experience the crisis, and every chapter adds a layer of ethnographic and analytical understanding of how such alienation comes about and what it entails.</p><p>What makes the book particularly original is the positionality of its author, who carried out systematic ethnographic fieldwork in ‘the very micro community’ into which he was born as the son of Tamil Dalit plantation workers in the tea belt of Peermade in Kerala (India). This positionality raises the question of ‘what the relationship would have been between Sidney Mintz and Don Taso if Mintz had been a Black anthropologist. Or, for that matter, if M.N. Srinivas and André Béteille had been Dalits trying to walk … Brahmin streets to conduct research on caste’ (p. xvi). We learn that plantation workers worry about the author actually being ‘too close’ and potentially divulging ‘too much’. Meanwhile, he has other challenges regarding upper-caste managerial staff, trade union leaders and government officials who forcefully ascribe the same identity to him as the people whom they talk to him about in narratives filled with sarcasm and stereotypes.</p><p>It is fitting that the book starts out with a nuanced and complex reflection on the challenges of the author's rather unique positionality because this positionality is a big part of why this book is so positively remarkable compared to the existing anthropological literature on plantation work. The author's ‘becoming an anthropologist’ involved both daring to become (even) more intimate with life in the tea belt, collecting emotional stories that people would not normally divulge to neighbours, while simultaneously attending to structural processes that go beyond subjective experiences. Meanwhile, the author attributes his deep sensitivity to the economic crisis that the workers confronted from the early 1990s to his being an insider in the community. I moreover suspect that the book's overall aim to keep workers' lives at the centre of the analysis also stems from that, as does the author's scepticism towards anthropological orientations that celebrate workers' agency ‘without examining the true liberatory potential of workers' actions’ vis-à-vis structures of exploitation: In a small sardonic side remark, the author reports that whenever he tried to ‘appreciate’ the workers for their ‘creative engagement’ with the crisis, they remained impassive (p. xv).</p><p>To introduce the reader to the setting of the Kerala tea plantations in crisis, the stage is set through a dis","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.12576","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140492306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These citations are from the series editor of ‘Themes in World History’, and this book is the fifth in this series. Vanhaute follows this brief by analysing peasants in world history from 10,000 BCE (Before the Common Era) until today using a ‘peasant frontiers’ approach for this purpose. It is a useful organizing device, and each chapter, except for the introduction, includes the key term ‘frontiers’ followed by a subtitle. The exposition is chronological starting with ‘New Frontiers: From the first peasants to early agrarian states’, followed by ‘Extending Frontiers’, ‘Interconnecting Frontiers’, ‘Intensifying Frontiers’, ‘Globalizing Frontiers’ and finishing with ‘The End of Frontiers’, each with their respective subtitle. A question immediately arises in my mind—does the end of frontiers also mean the end of the peasantry? This has been a key question in the debates on the agrarian question and the future of the peasantry, and the author does not shy away from confronting it as we will see. It is with great interest and expectation that I started to read this book as it reminded me of a review I wrote over 40 years ago of a book with the title <i>Peasants in History</i> edited by Eric Hobsbawm et al.; see Kay (<span>1982</span>). Some of the themes discussed in this book also resurface in the book by Vanhaute such as the analysis of the transformation of the peasant economy and its future, although Hobsbawm et al.'s book is limited to the period from the transition of feudalism to capitalism to the late 1970s, hence before the neoliberal-globalization turn in the world system which figures prominently in Vanhaute's book. But in theoretical terms, Hobsbawm et al.'s book casts its net wider as Marxist and Chayanovian peasantist perpectives are well represented while Vanhaute's book is firmly rooted in the peasantist camp.</p><p>As expected, peasants are at the centre of the book under review even to the extent that they appear in the author's view to be at the centre of human history. There are, of course, different theoretical approaches for analysing the history of peasants, and in the literature on critical agrarian studies, there are two main contesting approaches—the peasantist and the Marxist. The peasantist approach derives mainly from the writings of Alexander Chayanov, Teodor Shanin, Jan Douwe van der Ploeg and Philip McMichael (all mentioned in the selected readings) while the Marxist approach derives mainly from Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Karl Kautsky and Henry Bernstein (only Bernstein is mentioned in the readings).

In the wake of the capitalist crises in food, energy, climate and finance of the late 2000s, a diverse group of actors—from national governments to private corporations to individual and institutional investors, including pension funds, hedge funds, university endowments and sovereign wealth funds—rushed to acquire land in the Global South to produce and speculate on agricultural commodities. Africa, a region deemed to abound in so-called cheap, idle land, quickly became a hotbed of transnational land acquisitions, prompting concerns about neocolonialism and a ‘New Scramble for Africa’.</p><p>Laura German's book <i>Power/Knowledge/Land: Contested Ontologies of Land and its Governance in Africa</i> intervenes in the vast literature on the topic in ways that move beyond the classic theoretical moorings in agrarian political economy and critical studies of land and property. As the title suggests, she draws insights from the scholarship on the politics of knowledge and ontological anthropology to unsettle what she calls the ‘land governance orthodoxy’ or the ‘global knowledge regime’ on land that consolidated in the international development policy arena, in response to the public outcry over global land grabbing. This orthodoxy entails the mobilization of discourses and programs that promote such ideals as tenure security, women's empowerment and inclusive business to better manage large-scale land deals and ameliorate their adverse social consequences. German's driving thesis is that this orthodoxy has helped facilitate the commodification of land and the dispossession of customary rights holders, while masking the underlying drivers of the increasing land and livelihood insecurity in rural Africa today: the neoliberal push to privatize land and secure exclusive land access <i>for investors</i>.</p><p>Drawing on Chakrabarty (<span>1992</span>), German aims to ‘provincialize’ and denaturalize the dominant land governance constructs and their ontological premises, as revealed in key documents and websites of multilateral and bilateral donor agencies, development think tanks, nongovernmental organizations and private corporations. To scrutinize the seemingly self-evident truth claims and theories of change advocated by these entities, she provides a thorough systematic review of existing ethnographic evidence, while also using her own observations from fieldwork and engagement in the global land governance fora. Her methodological choice of drawing extensively on a wide range of published ethnographic works is an intentional one. By placing ‘ethnographic materials at the service of world-making’ (p. 3), she contributes to ‘a new anthropology of politics’ (Postero &amp; Elinoff, <span>2019</span>, p. 7) that calls attention to the limits of economic logics, technocratic managerialism and the urgent int","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.12572","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138966635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, this article presents empirical evidence on South Africa's State Land Lease and Disposal Policy (SLLDP) and analyses emerging accumulation dynamics in land redistribution. The evidence presented demonstrates that most of the SLLDP farm beneficiaries are capitalists from non-agrarian sectors who increasingly see land reform as the new frontier for accumulation with significant opportunities to access state land and production support. Other agrarian capitalists leverage political influence and accumulate through privileged access to public resources. In contrast, accumulation from below through the reinvestment of farming proceeds remains constrained. Promoting a small segment of already wealthy capitalists greatly limits the potential of land reform to transform social relations in property in favour of historically marginalised social classes.</p>","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.12570","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138547357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
