About the series
For centuries, Europe’s peasants have been dismissed as relics of a vanished world, swept aside by industrialization, modernization and capitalist progress.
A groundbreaking new book argues otherwise. From the German Peasants’ War to contemporary struggles over debt, land, food sovereignty and ecological survival, peasant-farmers have remained at the centre of resistance to the destructive forces reshaping rural life.
Join this webinar series to meet the activists and scholars behind this cutting edge research, and learn how these histories illuminate the radical possibilities emerging from struggles for commons, autonomy, dignity and democratic control over land and food.
