Observations on some theories of current agrarian change

Review of African Political Economy, 1998, vol. 25, issue 76, 207-219

Abstract: This article deals with the main theoretical approaches to the agrarian question in Globalising Food: Agrarian Questions and Global Restructuringedited by D Goodman and M J Watts. I argue that the approach proposed by the Actor‐Network Theory (ANT), although offering valuable insights, is problematic. The tradition of (agrarian) political economy, however, is still a rich source that can accommodate the concerns of ANT in particular, and postmodernism in general, as is the case with several articles in this volume. Class, in this effort, should remain a category of central importance. I conclude by noting the relevance and the absence from this volume of household level analysis as well as an analysis of food security.
