Cultivating Democracy: Politics and Citizenship in Agrarian India (Oxford UP, 2021) by Dr. Mukulika Banerjee offers a groundbreaking rethinking of democracy, moving beyond its institutional frameworks to focus on its lived, everyday dimensions. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the villages of Madanpur and Chishti in India, the book examines how agrarian communities cultivate democratic values—solidarity, reciprocity, and ethical citizenship—through practices embedded in their daily lives. Dr. Banerjee challenges conventional notions of democracy as confined to elections and state institutions, instead presenting it as a process deeply rooted in cultural-social practices and values. She highlights how rural communities, through cooperation in agriculture, rituals, festivals, and even moments of conflict and repair, create and sustain the democratic spirit. In doing so, the book underscores the resilience of these practices, even as procedural democracy faces erosion under broader political and economic pressures. At its core, Cultivating Democracy compels us to reimagine democracy not as an abstract ideal but as a lived and ongoing project shaped by the rhythms of everyday life. Through its rich ethnographic detail and theoretical insight, the book offers profound lessons on the fragility and strength of democracy, making it both a deeply scholarly and urgently relevant work. Rounak Bose is a doctoral student in History at the University of Delaware. His research explores the intersections of caste, religiosities, performances, sacred geographies, and the state, as informing/informed by colonial and postcolonial mobilities and circulatory regimes across South Asia and Indian Ocean networks. Besides these specific research interests, his disciplinary interests revolve across anthropology, linguistics, literature, and the digital humanities.

With men ‘falling behind' women in many aspects of life from university attendance to career success, the question being asked is ‘How do we help men find success and meet women where they are?” While valid, I believe it's fundamentally the wrong question because it ignores a foundational principle about men and women: men don't want to compete with women, they want to care for women.I explore some history and including Agrarian times and the 1950s American housewife/breadwinner era. This episode discusses how Industrial capitalism actually played a much bigger role in the division of men and women than most people recognize. I also get into the foundational difference that acknowledges how men love things, while women love people and why that's an important piece within this conversation of how to bring men and women back together.When asking the question how do we get men to be great again? The answer revolves around coming back to an understanding that femininity thrives in a masculine container, and masculine containers thrive thanks to female inspiration and admiration.Timestamps:Intro 00:00 - 03:04What do men need? 03:04 - 04:03How families used to be structured 04:03 - 09:29Feminism shift 09:29 - 11:50What makes a happy couple 11:50 - 14:56 Becoming a Better Man 14:56 - 17:17Quote from an American writer 17:17 - 19:35Outro - 19:35 - 22:01 ____________________________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

Smolski join the pod to discuss the January 2024 issue of LAP, "The Agrarian Question as an Ecological Question." The themes covered include the classic debate over agrarianism and development, the history of land reform in Latin America during the twentieth century, and the significance of centering ecology in the agrarian debate.  Daniela García Grandón is a part-time professor in the School of Sociological and Anthropological Studies at the University of Ottawa. Joana Salém Vasconcelos is a full-time Visiting Professor at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), Brazil, and has a PhD in Economic History from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil. Andrew R.

Historian Joana Salém Vasconcelos joins us to discuss her book Agrarian History of the Cuban Revolution: Dilemmas of Peripheral Socialism (Brill 2023; Haymarket 2023).  Translated from Portuguese and originally published in Brazil in 2016, this meticulously researched study unpacks the complicated political and economic challenges Cuba has faced since its 1959 revolution, demonstrating why the sugar plantation economic structure in Cuba has persisted.  Drawing on diverse historical sources, Salém Vasconcelos narrates in detail the three dimensions of Cuban agrarian transformation during the decisive 1960s – the land tenure system, the crop regime, and the labor regime – and its social and political actors. She explains the paths and detours of Cuban agrarian policies contextualized in a labor-intensive economy that desperately needs to increase productivity and, simultaneously, promised widely to emancipate workers from labor exploitation.  Joana Salém Vasconcelos is a full-time Visiting Professor at Federal University of ABC (UFABC), Brazil, and has a PhD in Economic History from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil. Agrarian History of the Cuban Revolution: Dilemmas of Peripheral Socialism is available for purchase through Haymarket books and Brill: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2420-agrarian-history-of-the-cuban-revolution https://brill.com/display/title/64107?language=en For more information about Latin American Perspectives, our podcasts and guests, please contact  latampodcasts@gmail.com

In this archive episode Forrest and James talk to Norman Wirzba, professor and author of a book called Agrarian Spirit: Cultivating Faith, Community, and the Land. In this book, Dr. Wirzba makes the case for a kind of spirituality that is grounded in deep awareness of creation. Among other things, this sort of humble, earthy spirituality that he encourages us to practice stands against the illusion of certainty and control that has made much of the church seem increasingly irrelevant these days—especially to younger generations.You can also watch the video of this conversation by going to YouTube.com/@circlewood.

Join John and Patrick as they dive into the rich, agricultural tapestry of Middle-earth in this episode focused on the symbolic significance of fresh produce and farming in Tolkien's world. Explore how the idyllic Shire, with its abundance of gardens and homegrown foods, contrasts with the industrial blight of Isengard and the barren wastelands of Mordor. Through these contrasts, Tolkien reveals deeper themes about the battle between good and evil, and the moral compass of Middle-earth's inhabitants. We'll also uncover how Tolkien's own life experiences shaped these landscapes and delve into the surprising connections between iconic scenes and simple, everyday vegetables. Whether you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, or The Rings of Power, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how food and farming are central to the moral fabric of Tolkien's universe.Join the History of Fresh Produce Club (https://app.theproduceindustrypodcast.com/access/) for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: historyoffreshproduce@gmail.com

We all develop a "self image" of ourselves which evolves throughout our lives. Defining ourselves gets complicated because we spend so much time trying or being what others expect of us. The years pass and we may find that our self image has become blurred or even lost altogether. By adopting a more simple lifestyle we may go some way to finding who we "really are".

Episode 185: Food Crisis, the International Food Regime, and Endless Agrarian Modernization in the MENA Regio The agrarian and food crisis in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have re-emerged vigorously to the attention of global development agencies and governments in coincidence with the Russia-Ukraine war. The food crisis has  been interpreted through a number of tropes, including Malthusian, environmentally determinist, security and development economics approaches. Within the dominant mainstream discourse, the MENA region is often depicted as a homogenous geographical area characterized by dryness, infertile lands and poor water resources. How did imperialism, colonialism and the Cold War influence the MENA food systems? What were the effects of agrarian modernizations, trade liberalization and neoliberalism on the agricultural systems in the region? These are some questions that this presentation tries to answer using a geographical and historical-comparative analysis, through a food regimes lens. Understanding contemporary social relations dynamics cannot be limited to the recent period. Agriculture and food in the MENA region are anchored in the history of power relations ruled by flows of capital and the shaping of ecological transformations during the longue durée of capitalism and its corresponding modes of control and regulation.

Dr. Srishti Yadav is an Instructor for the Economics & Society stream in the Department of Economics at the University of Manitoba. She has a PhD in Economics from The New School in New York. Her dissertation research focuses on the political economy of development in India, investing the relationship between agrarian change and structural transformation through the framework of the Agrarian Question. Her ongoing research examines changing agrarian class relations in the face of growing rural-urban migration and the caste- and gender-based dynamics of this process through fieldwork. Her teaching interests are in Marxian Political Economy and Development Economics. A note from Lev:I am a high school teacher of history and economics at a public high school in NYC, and began the podcast to help demystify economics for teachers.  The podcast is now within the top 2.5% of podcasts worldwide in terms of listeners (per Listen Notes) and individual episodes are frequently listed by The Syllabus (the-syllabus.com) as among the 10 best political economy podcasts of a particular week.  The podcast is reaching thousands of listeners each month.  The podcast seeks to provide a substantive alternative to mainstream economics media; to communicate information and ideas that contribute to equitable and peaceful solutions to political and economic issues; and to improve the teaching of high school and university political economy. I am looking to be able to raise money in order to improve the technical quality of the podcast and website and to further expand the audience through professionally designed social media outreach. I am also hoping to hire an editor. Best, LevDONATE TODAY

The rise of agrarian capitalism in Britain is usually told as a story about markets, land and wages. The Enclosure of Knowledge: Books, Power and Agrarian Capitalism in Britain, 1660–1800 (Cambridge University Press, 2022) by Dr. James Fisher reveals that it was also about books, knowledge and expertise. It argues that during the early modern period, farming books were a key tool in the appropriation of the traditional art of husbandry possessed by farm workers of all kinds. It challenges the dominant narrative of an agricultural 'enlightenment', in which books merely spread useful knowledge, by showing how codified knowledge was used to assert greater managerial control over land and labour. The proliferation of printed books helped divide mental and manual labour to facilitate emerging social divisions between labourers, managers and landowners. The cumulative effect was the slow enclosure of customary knowledge. By synthesising diverse theoretical insights, this study opens up a new social history of agricultural knowledge and reinvigorates long-term histories of knowledge under capitalism. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Tribe-Class Linkages: The History and Politics of the Agrarian Movement in Tripura (Routledge, 2023) is a historical study of the development of agrarian class relations among the tribal population in Tripura. Tracing the evolution of Tripura and its agrarian relations from monarchy in the nineteenth century to democracy in the twentieth century, the book discusses the nature of the erstwhile princely state of Tripura, analyses the emergence of differentiation within tribes, and documents the emergence of the tribal movement in the state.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 4, 2024 is: agrarian • uh-GRAIR-ee-un • adjective Something described as agrarian has to do with farms and farming. // Joan hopes to leave city life behind and move to a more agrarian region where she plans to raise lambs and grow heirloom vegetables. See the entry > Examples: "In an interview, [cultural studies researcher, Toni] Smith said fantasizing about agrarian life is nothing new. History presents cyclical 'back-to-the-land' movements, from America's early West-settling pioneers to the homesteaders of the Great Depression." — Hannah Macready, Ambrook Research, 17 Aug. 2023 Did you know? Today, an acre is generally considered to be a unit of land measuring 43,560 square feet (4,047 square meters). Before that standard was set, it's believed that an acre represented a rougher measurement: the amount of land that could be plowed in one day with a yoke of oxen. Both acre and agrarian come from the Latin noun ager and the Greek noun agrós, meaning "piece of land; field." (You can probably guess that agriculture is another descendant.) Agrarian, first used in English in the 16th century, describes things pertaining to the cultivation of fields, as well as to the farmers who cultivate them.

On today's show, I open with my thoughts after spending some time outdoors this weekend, working around my yard an in our vegetable garden. It reminded me of how communities originally started to form. On top of that, I find it interesting to see how much work goes into bringing a vegetable plant to full adulthood in order to produce food versus how weeds just magically pop-up and grow faster than the plants we want to grow. There seems to be a life-lesson here. We then move to the latest CNN Presidential choice poll and it's not good for Biden, not in a head-to-head with Trump and even worse if RFK, Jr. is included on the ballot. Plus, it looks like people are looking back at Trump's accomplishments as being much more positive versus Biden's current ones. In a breaking health news story, COVID spike proteins help cancer cells survive, resist Chemotherapy, according to a Brown University preprint. According to their research, the spike protein appears to block the p53 gene that stops cancer cell growth. Ford Motor Company just announced $1.3 billion in loses on electric vehicles just in the first quarter of 2024. They also delay plans to make any more. Former CBS journalist and now independent, Sharyl Attkisson, reports that the DOJ is still refusing to hand over audio of Biden being interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Hur. They don't care if they are in contempt from the House of Representatives. Independent investigative journalist Julie Kelly, who has been all over the various lawfare cases released more un-redacted and new information out of the Jack Smith classified documents case. We are once again reminded of what I told you shortly after the Mar-a-Lago raid – the GSA was working with NARA and the White House on the Trump document shipment from the White House to Florida. She also reports from the Alvin Bragg “hush money” case in NYC, that Judge Merchan is refusing to allow Trump's team to subpoena the video of many of the J6 witnesses. Judge Chutkan thinks the typed transcript is sufficient. And, going back to Judge Merchan, attorney Harmeet Dhillon just revealed the judge denied Trump's lawyers request to bring in campaign finance experts to testify. A professor from Emory was forced to the ground and arrested. She says she didn't do anything except hit a cop over his head to get his attention. And speaking of pro-terrorist protests on campus, is there any difference in draping yourself in a swastika and wearing a keffiyeh?

Welcome to Agrarian Futures, a podcast exploring a future centered around land, community, and connection to place.Join hosts Emma Ractliffe and Austin Unruh as they chat with farmers, philosophers, and entrepreneurs reimagining our relationship to the land - and to each other - to showcase real hope and solutions for the future.

Peasant Politics of the Twenty-First Century: Transnational Social Movements and Agrarian Change (Cornell University Press, 2024) by Dr. Marc Edelman illuminates the transnational agrarian movements that are remaking rural society and the world's food and agriculture systems. Dr. Edelman explains how peasant movements are staking their claims from farmers' fields to massive protests around the world, shaping heated debates over peasants' rights and the very category of "peasant" within the agrarian organisations and in the United Nations. Dr. Edelman chronicles the rise of these movements, their objectives, and their alliances with environmental, human rights, women's, and food justice groups. The book scrutinises high-profile activists and the forgotten genealogies and policy implications of foundational analytical frameworks like "moral economy," and concepts, such as "food sovereignty" and "civil society." Peasant Politics of the Twenty-First Century charts the struggle of agrarian movements in the face of land grabbing, counter agrarian reform, and a looming climate catastrophe, and celebrates engaged research from Central America to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
