The Crisis Tendency in Land Policy 2. The Crisis Tendency in Labor Policy 3. The Crisis Tendency in Market Policy 4. The Crisis Tendency in Environmental Policy Conclusion: Pathways for ReformReviews'U.S. agriculture is in crisis: punitive neoliberal policies that hurt farmers, workers and residents; partisan divides that stymie cooperation; geographical and rural/urban differences; and centuries of genocide of Indigenous populations to acquire land, and enduring racism all contribute. Pahnke analyzes crises in land, labor, market and environmental policy and practice, drawing from Habermas's concepts of crisis and contradiction. But more than analysis of the issues, he offers proposals grounded in a thorough historical perspective of what worked in the past to overcome crises, salted with his deep understanding of how the current context requires new approaches. Again taking the lead from Habermas, Pahnke places policy proposals within communication strategy and social movement mobilization. This is a timely and important book for figuring out how we will move beyond crises to solutions for some of the most intransigent problems in U.S. agriculture.' - Molly D. Anderson, William R.
