Peasants' Wars in the 20th Century

Peasants and the peasantry have always been the issue of revolutionary theories in one way or another, sometimes seen as a "progressive" ally and sometimes as a "reactionary" obstacle. In all cases, it has been the object of certain social designs, and there have been discussions about whether it is a class or not. In his book Peasants' Wars in the 20th Century, Eric R. Wolf makes an important contribution by focusing on the examples of Cuba, Algeria, Vietnam, China, Russia and Mexico, and examining the peasantry in country contexts and different social formations, beyond conventional definitions and criteria.

Wolf's work is a rare work that will attract the attention of the reader who wants to comparatively follow the boundaries and possibilities of the peasantry and is curious about its relationship with mass movements.

“For the first time in thousands of years, humanity is making headway in solving age-old problems of hunger and disease; Everywhere, ancient monopolies of power and received wisdom are receding in the face of people's participation and efforts to spread knowledge. No matter how uncertain, no matter how many difficulties there are, no matter how misunderstood, the hope of blessing life and elevating humanity lies in these efforts. Although the rebellious villagers have their share of pain, they also have their share of hope; In this respect, they are on the side of humanity.”
