Neither Peasant, Nor Farmer. Transformations of Agriculture in Serbia after 2000
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2014, Vol 19, Issue 19
Abstract
This paper tries to point to the current problems of Serbian peasantry. Even though the title indicates that the paper deals predominantly with identity issues of Serbian peasants, yet it rather depicts and explains a deeper, complex and layered process that has been inluencing their identity vagueness. It reveals the historical, political and social background of the process through the entire 20th century and their repercussions on peasant identity. Special attention, though, is devoted to the period ater 2000, when Serbian agriculture was promised new paths of professional development within the new democratic governments. Questioning and re-examination of oficially-proclaimed professionalization of agriculture and its progress make, therefore, the main focus of this paper.
