The flood, the famine, the drought, the plague, and all the big events in agrarian life are always connected culturally and experientially to the nature of the harvest and to human entitlements to the fruit of the land.

 Agrarian Dreams: CHAPTER ONE
Cutting across all four of the movements mentioned, contemporary agrarian populism shares many of the same elements of this broadly construed "industrialization" critique, in, for example, its concern with corporate power, the role of big science in agro-industrialization, and the implicit links between the social organization of farming and ecological outcomes.

 AHA Information: C. Vann Woodward Presidential Address (1969)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
It was no wonder that a leading historian could complain in 1947 of "the confusions in which most historical students have been tossing."2 The morale of the guild and the self-esteem and confidence of its members were in disarray, and some despaired of the beleaguered and defenseless plight of the craft.
A profession that sets itself up as custodian of the past among a people with such peculiar attitudes toward the past, a people that has characteristically sought identity in the future would seem to have little ground for complacency.
A fatal betrayal of the craft would be to permit the profession of history to become inextricably entangled with the future of the past, the purposeful past of the rationalizers, the justifiers, and the propagandists.

In the case of Guatemala, the critical difference is the existence of a enduring national agrarian elite able to exercise its power at multiple levels, from influencing state policies to deepening its command over workers and the labor process.

 UNRISD: Publications | Agrarian Change, Gender and Land Rights: A Brazilian Case Study
According to the first census of the agrarian reform organized by INCRA in 1996, only 12.62 per cent of the beneficiaries were women.
The empowerment of women within agrarian reform, however, is occurring in an unpremeditated way and parallel to demands raised by the leadership of rural movements.
The influence of the active role played by women in the encampments of occupied land, as research has shown, may be diluted in the return to traditional gender relations as settlements are established, or may even generate frustrations that cannot be vented.

If empowerment would allow the teacher to teach in the truest sense of academic freedom the strengths of his regional culture, then perhaps the best of our young people would desire to be teachers.

Historiography as a profession and subject matter came into being because it was believed that history itself could become a profession and subject matter.
In attempting to satiate that dichotomy, the practice of historiography has a natural “tension,” since the “scientific ethos of the profession” necessitates objectivity and the “political function” of the profession is inherently subjective.

Taxation — During the Agrarian era, wherein virtually everyone was required to procure his own food, or grow it, it made some sense for some of that Food to be “taxed” in order for the personnel who governed, and who had not the time to grow their own, to be able also to eat.
