In recent decades, this narrative has been challenged and reinterpreted by a new generation of regional historians employing diverse approaches and analytical perspectives. These scholars have endeavoured to transcend geographical and political boundaries, integrate the historical processes of the region with global dynamics, contextualise the narratives of individual and family biographies within the dominant social groups and recognise and value the presence of indigenous populations in the construction of social history (Bandieri <span>2021</span>; López and Gattica <span>2000</span>). Likewise, Patagonia has been the focus of an increasing number of studies that seek to transcend the conventional boundaries of agrarian history, with the aim of (re)constructing an environmental history that examines the intricate relationships and conflicts between production and the exploitation of nature (Andrade <span>2003</span>; Blanco and Mendes <span>2006</span>; Ejarque <span>2014</span>; Haller <span>2023</span>).</p><p>In this context, <i>Creatures of Fashion</i> represents a significant contribution to both fields of study. The book proposes a reconstruction of the history of the southernmost extremity of the continent (currently Argentinean and Chilean territories) by examining the impact of the commodification of animals (native and exotic) on the relations between society and nature, as well as between the social groups that inhabited the area. In the process, it illuminates how nation states established administrative territories that extended well beyond the boundaries of the nation-state system itself.</p><p>This book will enrich the historiography of Patagonia in at least two ways. Firstly, its approach is expanded to involve the analysis of the diversity of animals present in the region and their relations (and tensions) established with local and global societies. These links included breeding for productive purposes; the exploitation of wildlife for commercial gain; the recognition of some native species as part of the pristine landscape and their preservation through conservation mechanisms; and the role of domestic animals as part of the social reproduction of the people who worked in livestock activities. The second contribution of the book is that it moves beyond the agrarian perspective to examine the impact of the world of consumption of fibres and skins on the social relations of production. This is achieved by adopting a ‘from the field to the hanger’ approach. Consequently, although the author acknowledges that commodification does not encompass the myriads of relations between animals and people in Patagonia, it is the most impactful phenomenon and enables him to illustrate ‘how certain individuals acquired power from and over specific species o","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.12615","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595462","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}

This paper investigates these dynamics through a mixed-methods approach across six farming communities in two districts, focusing on how social differentiation, accumulation, dispossession and exploitation reshape the region. Urban male capitalists, in collusion with local chiefs, drive mutual enrichment, while women and landless youth are disproportionately disadvantaged. Their land rights are increasingly eroded as powerful elites and traditional ruling families appropriate and accumulate capital at their expense. This transformation, rooted in patriarchal structures, is fuelling tensions and pockets of resistance among affected groups. The paper highlights how powerful individuals and groups can thwart often well-intentioned state-led agriculture modernization initiatives for their parochial interests. It shows how predominantly urban-based elites and power brokers frequently hijack the state's effort to reform the rural sector in the context of neoliberal capitalist economies in the Global South. It offers broader insights into social differentiation and the tensions that arise between and among the various competing group interests. Finally, it raises questions of justice across generations and gender which have broader implications for the political economy of agrarian change and structural transformation in rural northern Ghana.

In this paper, we interrogate and depart from the dominant narrative of the youth-agriculture disconnect by focussing on socio-economic conditions that shape diverse patterns of youth livelihood in rural areas. Our empirical evidence draws on ethnographic studies conducted in rural parts of Nepal with in-depth interviews with young people complemented by key informant interviews with local leaders and community workers who shared their experiences and local narratives of the links among youth, agriculture and migration. Findings show that youth aspiration to leave agriculture is hard to deny, although this is heavily mediated by economic status, caste and gender in rural contexts. Given the chronic livelihood insecurity and the structural barriers rooted in class, caste and gender, we find that youth from underprivileged backgrounds do not have the luxury of considering an ‘exit’ from agriculture despite their mobility aspirations. When a longer-term livelihood trajectory is considered, youth aspirations to transition out of agriculture show some degree of temporality regardless of their background, suggesting their re-engagement in agriculture later in their life.</p>","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.12611","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142861352","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}

To what extent does their potential for change materialize into structural transformations concerning the living conditions of historically subordinated social sectors? What are the limitations of these processes, and in what ways can paths be sought to overcome these limitations? Throughout the history of Latin America, many intellectuals, politicians and academics have pondered these questions. In different contexts, these issues have proven to be key problems for popular political forces that eventually managed to attain some degree of hegemony in society, being elected as governors of the state and placing themselves as the governing force in their countries and territories. Now we are in power seeks to answer these challenging questions, reflecting specifically on the ‘el proceso de cambio’ in 21st century Bolivia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now We Are in Power: The Politics of Passive Revolution in Twenty-First Century Bolivia&lt;/i&gt; (2023) by Angus McNelly is a compelling case study regarding one of the most important experiences of governments led by organizations and leaderships originating from the popular movement and elected within the institutional hallmark of the liberal state. The book is product of an extensive ethnographic research conducted between 2016 and 2019, with fieldwork in collaboration with social movements in La Paz, El Alto, Santa Cruz and other locations in Bolivia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When arriving in Bolivia shortly after Evo Morales' defeat in the 2016 referendum that would have allowed him to run for a third presidential term, McNelly became interested in a significant sentiment of frustration towards the government. Ten years after coming to power, a feeling of distrust among important strata of the population and social movements with ‘el proceso de cambio’ (the process of change) was widely perceived. Therefore, McNelly's proposal is to reflect on the experience of the ‘first indigenous government in the country's history’ through some categories of Antonio Gramsci's thinking, such as catharsis, transformism, Caesarism, hegemony, integral state and, notably, the notion of passive revolution. The author considers that the transformations experienced by Bolivian society in the 21st century were imbued with a dialectic between restoration/revolution characteristic of processes that tend to incorporate (at least partially) the transformative force of some revolutionary impulses into strategies that preserve the historical structures of domination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McNelly undertakes an analytical journey to understand the Bolivian case through a rich dialogue with the Latin American critical tradition that has dedicated itself to understanding the behaviour and relationships of popular organizations and leaderships with the state in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Mexico.

{"title":"The conservation-extraction nexus in ocean Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction: Tension or co-constitution?","authors":"Elizabeth Havice,&nbsp;Anna Zalik,&nbsp;Lisa Campbell,&nbsp;Noella Gray","doi":"10.1111/joac.12607","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/joac.12607","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Recent years have seen a sharp uptick in efforts to expedite resource extraction in, and expand biodiversity conservation to, Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ), the ~70% of oceans outside state space. In this symposium piece, we explore the co-constitution of the parallel acceleration of biodiversity conservation and economic exploitation that is unfolding in ways unique to the high seas, but consistent with global patterns wherein this coupling encloses space for capitalist value extraction. These coupled tendencies are part of expanded ocean regulation and, in ABNJ, they form part of state-capital advancement into one of the remaining world frontiers. We explore this extraction-conservation nexus in two contemporary ABNJ negotiations: 1) the Implementing Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction and 2) the International Seabed Authority's development of an exploitation regime for deep-seabed mining in the Area. Our findings build on insights from agrarian political economy and political ecology that establish the co-constitution – rather than incommensurability – of conservation and extractive activities in terrestrial spaces and draw out the arenas of this nexus in the ecologically complex, political-economic grey zone that is the uninhabited (by humans), non-state space of the planet. This work contributes to placing the high seas and the emergent blue economy within the critical scholarship that describes and explores the conservation-extraction nexus and its consequences.</p>","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.12607","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144482012","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}
