A Critic Unfettered
Ernest Ludwig Feder was among the most prolific, creative and boldest of rural economists in the decades after the Second World War. Yet much of the work for which he would become most well known - on land reform, dependency and peasant agriculture, particularly in Latin America - was a comparatively late development, starting when he was almost fifty, more than two-thirds of the way through a full and varied life that never conformed to conventi…
Clearance as Development Strategy in Rural Colombia
Land Rights, Conflict, and Violence Amid Neo-Liberal Globalization
Conflict and violence have characterized most societies where tensions over land and, hence, over the control, use, and benefits of natural resources (including land, water, forests, mineral resour
Vicos as Cold War Strategy
This article examines how anthropology's emphasis on the traditional values of peasants reflected the general precepts of 'modernization theory', the dominant development discourse of the Cold War era. It explores how such ideas lent credibility to the U.S. strategy of 'community development' as a central part of its response to radical rural change. Special attention is paid to the Cornell-Peru Project at Vicos in the Peruvian highlands, which a…
Malthusianism, Capitalist Agriculture, and the Fate of Peasants in the Making of the Modern World Food System
This article describes the role of Malthusian thinking as a rationale for the commercial development of global agriculture at the expense of peasant-livelihood security. Focusing on the impact of the cold war, in an era of peasant insurgency, it explores how the Green Revolution reflected and reinforced the West's conviction that technological innovation, rather than more equitable systems of production, should resolve the problem of world food s…

Reductionism in Cultural Ecology
Cultural ecologists attempting to trace the influence of ecological scarcities on cultural development are often criticized for reductionism. In the Amazon case, critics of ecological theories have argued that resource scarcity is of minor importance as a determinant of cultural features because native communities appear to enjoy abundant land and fully nutritious diets. This paper presents data and arguments suggesting that much of this "resourc…
Ecological Theory and Ethnic Differentiation Among Human Populations [and Comments and Replies]
The formation and maintenance of distinct ethnic populations within multiethnic communities is proposed to be functionally equivalent to the process of species diversification in multispecies communities. This paper suggests that while these processes operate through different selective mechanisms-one social and the other genetic-ethnic boundaries, like species boundaries, function to regulate the behavior of potentially competing populations in …

Food Taboos, Diet, and Hunting Strategy
The issue of food prohibitions on such Amazonian game animals as deer is examined from an ecological perspective, in contrast to previous symbolic or structuralist views on this subject. Examined in conjunction with settlement pattern, technology, animal behavior, and habitat productivity, which together determine the food-extraction potential of a population, the avoidance of certain inherently edible species by characterizing them as inebible i…
The Evolution of the Amazon Peasantry
The empirical validity of traditional perspectives on poverty and under-development has been seriously challenged over the past decade. In contrast to emphasis on what were said to be disfunctional characteristics of the poor themselves, attention has been redirected towards economic and ecological factors which reveal much of the cultural repertoire of peasants and urban and rural poor to be a positive or adaptive response to limits imposed on t…
