Challenging accounts that efface the agency of subalterns in shaping rural dynamics, and ignore the diversity of perspectives within indigenous groups, Biocca untangles the connections between global, national and local spatial scales in her analysis of accumulation by dispossession.
Using two case studies, the Qom People in Pampa del Indio and the Moqoit people in Las Tolderias, she presents the main transformations that have taken place in the Argentine agricultural sector during the hegemony of post-neoliberalism while centring the perceptions and roles of subalterns within these transformations.
Reviews / Votes
'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 'An important contribution to a growing body of research centering Indigenous communities in Argentina' -- 'NACLA'More details
