Dear colleagues,
I am looking for papers from both junior and established researchers from the Global south and Global north for a Special Issue to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the publication of Europe and the People without History, by Eric R. Wolf, in 2022. The book is an established modern classic, a leading piece of scholarship, and heavily influences research and thinking about the developing world today.
The SI will take up key issues and points of investigation central to the book to understand present day relationships and connections between local arenas, processes of exclusion, and global modes and forms of production.
The contributions will take as a point of departure research questions in the spirit of the book. Examples of research questions include: How do contemporary dynamics of global modes and forms of production impact and shape local processes of social exclusion? Who are the present day People without History and what role do they play in global forms of accumulation and production? In rural contexts, how do global modes of production and organizational forms of excluded groups challenge and change each other? The working title for the SI is: Connections and Exclusion: People Without History in Contemporary Contexts in the Global South.
The SI will be an ambitious, original, and timely contribution for a leading social science journal with an explicit focus on dynamics between rural and global political and economic development and processes of exclusion, power relations between political-economic classes and different social groups in rural contexts, and the formalization and informalization of global connections and processes of exclusion.
Please send me a 500 word abstract, together with a 200 word author bio, before 25 April.
Kind regards
Paul Austin Stacey
