Informed by Eric Wolf’s Peasant Wars of the Twentieth Century, published in 1969, this book examines selected peasant struggles in seven Latin American countries during the last fifty years and suggests the continuing relevance of Wolf’s approach. The seven case studies are preceded by an Introduction in which the editors assess the continuing relevance of Wolf’s political economy. The book concludes with Gavin Smith’s reflection on reading Eric Wolf as a public intellectual today.

“Highly recommended.” • Choice“This stimulating book will be of interest to a wide range of readers, including those who want an accessible, well-written guide to peasant struggles and agrarian change in Latin America…. In a world of escalating inequality, precarity, and violence, such an approach to intellectual labour is more urgent than ever.” • Journal of Agrarian Change“The book is quite unique… The concept is original and intriguing, and brings together an outstanding array of scholars to pursue the questions Eric Wolf raised in different Latin American cases.” • Avi Chomsky, Salem State University.
