Customer Reviews: I'm in LOVE with the authors of this book! May 28, 2006 Mucki (Guatemala) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book took me on a deep journey through the indigenous peasant world of Campesino a Campesino, a fascinating movement working for food sovereignty and environmental sustainability. I had no idea of its existence or of the dramatic struggles of its protagonists. On one hand, it is told through the eyes of the peasants themselves as they brave repressive regimes, war, globalization and poverty. On the other, the author weaves in his own observations and thoughtful analysis of how and why these events occur. It is powerfully and passionately written, without losing any of its sharp analytical edge. I learned a lot from this book, and will use it in my teaching and simply to share in the wisdom of the peasants. A must for development work October 2, 2009 J. A. Donaghy (Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book is full of wisdom learned on the ground from campesinos, the poor who work their land. It shows the wisdom of an approach that recognizes and values and encourages the wisdom and work of the poor. This truly promotes a participatory approach to sustainable agriculture. From my vantage point in western Honduras I hope that more groups will find a way to make the vision of Campesino a Campesino real - not only in its practices and its methodology, but also in supporting policy changes that empower the poor rural farmers and their families. Thanks to the author and to the campesinos who shared their experiences in this book. Everyone who into agricutlural development work among the poor should read this book (together with "Tow Ears of Corn" and "The Human Farm")
