Fear in the Countryside: The Control of Agricultural Resources in the
Poor Countries by Non-Peasant Elites (Cambridge, MA: Ballinger. 1976)
Political economy of America’s global agricultural assistance and
political influence: the American agricultural model in the Third World
becomes a weapon at the hands of the elites to expand their plantations at
the expense of peasants, nature, and sustainability.
From Graikos to Hellene: Adamantios Koraes and the Greek Revolution
(Athens: Academy of Athens, 1987)
Adamantios Koraes, 1748-1833, was the father of the Greek Revolution of
1821. He edited the Greek classical texts in Paris, his books in the hands
of Greeks becoming guides to ancient Greek wisdom and weapons of war
against the Turks occupying Greece.
Harvest of Devastation: The Industrialization of Agriculture and its
Human and Environmental Consequences (New York: The Apex Press and Goa,
India: The Other India Press, 1996).
The industrialization of agriculture caused a violent revolution among the
agrarian people all over the world, diminishing democracy and dramatically
reducing the number of family farmers in the United States and bringing
constant low level warfare between agrarian classes in the Third World.
Mechanical farming also has had ecocidal effects.
This Land is Their Land: How Corporate Farms Threaten the World
(Monroe, Maine: Common Courage Press, 2006)
Corporate agriculture in the United States has been responsible for the 98
percent decline of black farmers and the almost 70 percent decline of white
family farmers, converting rural America to a huge plantation of animal
factories and one-crop large farms. Such a violent transformation of rural
America has been a blow against democracy and food quality as well.
Corporate farming is having deleterious consequences for human and
ecological health. This system of agriculture is undoing global
agricultural biodiversity while tipping the precarious agrarian balance of
power on the side of plantations. Corporate farming is also making a
substantial contribution to global warming.
The Passion of the Greeks: Christianity and the Rape of the Hellenes
(Harwich Port, Cape Cod: Clock and Rose Press, 2006).
In the fourth century, the Roman Emperor Constantine I adopted
Christianity, making it state religion. This reversal of fortunes between
millennia-old polytheism and barely 300 years-old monotheistic
Christianity, unprecedented in history, had dramatic effects on Greco-Roman
polytheism. Christianity declared war on the Greeks and their religion, the
violence against them being so intense and permanent that from the 5th to
the 19th centuries the Greeks called themselves Romans. This story reveals
for the first time the violent and secret page of Christian and European
history.
