The Actually Existing Agency of Subaltern GroupsReviews'Silences of Dispossession offers a timely account of indigenous struggles around soybean expansion in post-neoliberal Argentina. Eloquent and engaging, Biocca confronts colliding responses to agrarian transformations in light of histories and memories of dispossession, resistance, and negotiations with the State.' -- Paola Canova, author of 'Frontier Intimacies: Ayoreo Women and the Sexual Economy of the Paraguayan Chaco' (University of Texas Press, 2020) 'In an important contribution to development and peasant studies, Biocca argues that whether rural people resist or acquiesce to dispossession depends on local rationalities. Comparing two groups of Indigenous rural peasants in the Argentine Chaco, she demonstrates the importance of collective memory, previous engagement with capitalist regimes, and aspirations for inclusion.' -- Nancy Postero, Professor of Anthropology at the University of California San Diego Author InformationMercedes Biocca is a Professor and an Associate Researcher at the Institute of Higher Social Studies (IDAES) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her research focuses on rural issues associated with the spread of agribusiness, the different forms of rural existence imposed by the state and the challenges that face indigenous communities in the north of Argentina in the post-neoliberal period.
