Resistance to accumulation by dispossession in the context of neoliberal capitalism and globalization : struggles for defending and gaining land rights by the poor peasantry in the Noakhali Chars Of Bangladesh
Adnan, Shapan
Harvey [2003] has argued that, in the long term historical geography of capitalism, accumulation by dispossession (ongoing primitive accumulation) is organically linked to the accumulation of capital proper i.e. that based on expanded reproduction. Furthermore, accumulation by dispossession has become the principal form of accumulation characterizing neoliberal capitalism in the context of contemporary globalization. Among the numerous dimensions of such dispossession, this paper focuses on the mechanisms of the seizure of the lands of the poor peasantry, termed displacement by dispossessionn by Arighi [2009], as well as the modes of resistance deployed by the latter against such processes.
