Maryam Aslany Explores the Enduring Role and Marginalization of Peasant Farmers
Maryam Aslany's work highlights the vital yet overlooked role of peasants, who manage most of the world's farms and produce a significant share of global food. Contrary to common beliefs that industrial agriculture would replace peasant farming, smallholder agriculture continues to thrive alongside large-scale operations, especially in Asia. Aslany's research explores how peasants have become culturally and intellectually marginalized despite their central role in food production and rural economies worldwide.
