This reading note presents the book edited by Laurent Delcourt on peasant mobilisations in the South. Writen at the time of the first meeting of the United Nations Intergovernmental Working Group on the Human Rights of Peasants in 2013, contributors all describe the unequal power relations between the agrobusiness and peasant populations in Africa, Latin America and Asia. Destitute and entangled in a system of continuous impoverishment, they are alone and abandonned to their fate by governments. This book aims to observe the multiplicity of peasant social struggles, as well as trasnantional ones like Via Campesina, to face their condition.
