Agrarian Crossings – Reformers and the Remaking of the US and Mexican Countryside

Autor Tore C. Olsson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2020
"A model of border-crossing scholarship, Agrarian Crossings brilliantly illuminates the deep interconnections between U.S. and Mexican history. Neither the New Deal nor Mexican agrarian reform will ever look the same again."--Karl Jacoby, Columbia University
"Agrarian Crossings is a pathbreaking history of the American and Mexican reformers who reinvented farming in the shadow of World War II. This impressive and scrupulously researched book is required reading for historians of agriculture, technocratic interchange, and the invention of development in the Americas, as well as for anyone interested in the surprisingly entangled origins of the green revolution."--Chris Boyer, University of Illinois at Chicago
"New Dealers in Coahuila, the campesinos of North Carolina--Olsson scrambles familiar geographies in this mind-wrenching account of rural politics in Mexico and the U.S. South. This is a surprising, innovative, and revelatory history, highly recommended not only for students of development but for anyone interested in the connections between the United States and Latin America."--Daniel Immerwahr, author of Thinking Small: The United States and the Lure of Community Development
"Transnational history at its best. Agrarian Crossings not only helps to reconceptualize the history of the American South, U.S.-Mexican relations, and the rise of development; it also stands out for the richness and texture of its empirical analysis."--Kiran Klaus Patel, author of The New Deal: A Global History
"A persuasive fusion of intellectual, political, and agrarian history. Agrarian Crossings is a brilliant example of how to deploy transnational methods with narrative verve and analytical insight."--Sarah T. Phillips, author of This Land, This Nation: Conservation, Rural America, and the New Deal
