GLOBL 131: LAND UPRISINGS
University of California, Santa Barbara
Examines the contemporary politics of land uprisings and the emancipatory experiments amidst a planetary ecological crisis and a new wave of resource grabbing. These land insurgencies in both rural and urban areas are putting new social questions and emancipatory alternatives on the political horizon We start with an overview of the classical theoretical debates on transi- tions within and beyond capitalism along with the struggles of subaltern classes, globalization & ecology. We then shift our attention to an exam- ination of contemporary and historical land uprisings and emancipatory alternatives. We explore the differential weight of race, class, indi- geneity, ethnicity & gender for understanding the global land wars.
