La Via Campesina is one of the world's largest and most important transnational social movements. Formed in 1993, it brings together rural women,peasants,indigenous communities,small-scale farmers and farm workers from around the world. Comprising millions of people, it is a leading force against the globalization of a neo-liberal and corporate-led model of agriculture. This book explores the movement from the inside. Annette Aurelie Desmarais, a former grain farmer and long time participant in La Via Campesina, shows how peasants and small-scale farmers have found the strength to challenge multinational agribusiness corporations and international institutions whose power and influence increasingly dictate government policy.

Recensione:
Since its founding in 1993, the Vía Campesina has become one of the most dynamic and creative elements in the global justice movement. ... Annette Desmarais’ insider history of this transnational peasant and small farmer organization will be essential reading for all those who seek to understand the worldwide opposition to neoliberal globalisation and the social and environmental destruction. (Marc Edelman. Professor of Anthropology, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. He is the author of The Logic of the Latifundio (1992) and Peasants Against Globalization (1999); co-editor of The Anthropology of Development and Globalization: From Classical Political Economy to Contemporary Neoliberalism (2005))

The Via Campesina is the most important transnational social movement in the contemporary world. They are the leading edge of resistance against neoliberal economic globalization, and this book provides must-read history and analysis for scholars and activists alike. (Peter Rosset, co-coordinator, Land Research Action Network (LRAN))

[This work] is a comprehensive, informative and intelligent analysis of the current global agrarian resistance movement. ... The book takes the reader into the inside of organizational dynamics and struggles to reveal the courage, commitment, and imagination it takes to build coherent resistance to the destruction of peasant and rural cultures and communities around the world. (Nettie Wiebe, Professor of Church and Society, St. Andrew's College, former President of the National Farmers Union (of Canada) and former Coordinator for the North America/Mexico region on the International Coordinating Committee of the Via Campesina.)
