Capital's Food Regime: Class Struggle, the State and Corporate Agriculture in India - Paperback

by Jostein Jakobsen (Author)

Capital's Food Regime traces India's integration into the global food regime and reveals the consequences for the country's different classes of labour.

The book is an in-depth study of agrarian transformations in contemporary India through the lens of food regime analysis. While the food regime approach has emphasized global-scale studies, this book breaks new ground in downscaling the approach to account for specific historical-geographical cases. Jakobsen thus develops an innovative Marxist approach to food regime analysis that challenges prevailing scholarly accounts in Agrarian Studies and beyond.
