Abstract

The article commences with a statement about the global inequalities in publishing about agrarian and rural issues in the South and the manner in which Northern and Western scholarship has assumed a virtual monopoly in this respect. Consequently, the voice of the South has been muted. It praises the corrective challenge to this inequality spearheaded by Moyo, Jha and Yeros, and then goes on to provide an outline of their broadside. The article places the debate within a historical context but then raises a number of critical questions about the new agrarian question which they propose as both a political intervention for the people of the South as well as a scholarly engagement on contemporary challenges. In particular, the article calls for a class analysis of their assiduously argued project of national sovereignty in the face of global capital.
