Struggles over Land and Livelihoods in African Agriculture

Marjorie Mbilinyi

Development, 2012, vol. 55, issue 3, 390-392

Abstract: Marjorie Mbilinyi argues that large-scale agribusiness has trampled upon peasants land and rights. She examines how the struggles over land and labour in agriculture and biofuel production are increasingly politicized and argues that instead of calling for a ‘return’ to patriarchal agriculture systems, anti-globalization movements need to recognize and learn from struggles of women and youth in agrarian communities in order to develop truly alternative people-centred economic strategies.
