  • Bio:

    Marc Edelman is Professor of Anthropology at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center. He has worked for many years on agrarian social movements in rural Latin America. More recently he has been looking comparatively at peasant movements across the globe. Professor Edelman’s books, which have been translated into several languages, include The Logic of the Latifundio and Peasants Against Globalization. He is also co-author of Social Democracy in the Global Periphery and co-editor of The Anthropology of Development and Globalization and Transnational Agrarian Movements Confronting Globalization. With funding from the National Science Foundation, he is currently doing research on the campaign of transnational agrarian movements to have the United Nations approve a declaration, and eventually a convention, on the rights of peasants.

  • Recent Publications:

    Political Dynamics of Transnational Agrarian Movements (2016)
    Estudios agrarios críticos (2016)
    Critical Perspectives on Food Sovereignty (2016)
    Global Land Grabs: History, Theory and Method (2015)

  • Current Projects:

    Edelman is working on a project, supported by the National Science Foundation and the PSC-CUNY Grants Program, on the efforts of transnational agrarian movements to have the United Nations approve a declaration on the rights of peasants.

Borras, Jr. and published in 2016 by Fernwood (Canada) and Practical Action Publishing (UK); and Estudios agrarios críticos: tierras, semillas, soberanía alimentaria y los derechos de las y los campesinos, published in 2016 by the Editorial del Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales, Quito, Ecuador.

  • Roosevelt House, an integral part of Hunter College since 1943, reopened in 2010 as a public policy institute honoring the distinguished legacy of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Its mission is three-fold: to educate students in public policy and human rights, to support faculty research, and to foster creative dialogue.
