Routledge New Frontiers of Land Control - Critical Agrarian Studies

Explore the complex evolution of land control in this academic work from the Critical Agrarian Studies series. Published by Routledge, this book examines the historical and contemporary forces that shape property rights, territories, and land use. Since the nineteenth century, scholars in agrarian studies and economic history have investigated themes of exclusion, alienation, expropriation, dispossession, and violence. This text connects those historical foundations to modern transformations in agrarian environments. Readers will find analysis of how processes like de-agrarianization, urbanization, and migration change the landscape of land ownership. Beyond historical shifts, the book addresses how capitalism reformulates social relations within agriculture. By looking at new forms of primitive accumulation, this work provides a framework for understanding how land control continues to change in a globalized world. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of social sciences, economic history, and agrarian environments.
