| Summary/Abstract |
It was a typical Saturday night at the posh Sheraton Hotel in San Salvador. The hotel’s coffee shop and adjacent dining room were teeming with oligarchs, businessmen, military officers, government functionaries, and expats, sitting in separate parties, eating dinner, and carrying on conversations about the country’s unfolding political turmoil. It was January 3, 1981, roughly a year into in El Salvador’s bloody civil war. At one table sat José Rodolfo Viera, a campesino turned head of the government’s agrarian reform agency. He was accompanied by two foreign advisors from the United States—Michael Hammer and Mark David Pearlman. Around 11pm, as Viera, Hammer, and Pearlman discussed agrarian reform over coffee, they were unexpectedly approached by two strangers in windbreakers. The strangers suddenly pulled submachine guns out from beneath their jackets and opened fire. All three men were killed.

| Summary/Abstract |
The lack of historical perspective in many studies of land grabbing leads researchers to ignore or underestimate the extent to which pre-existing social relations shape rural spaces in which contemporary land deals occur. Bringing history back in to land grabbing research is essential for understanding antecedents, establishing baselines to measure impacts and restoring the agency of contending agrarian social classes. In Central America each of several cycles of land grabbing-liberal reforms, banana concessions and agrarian counter-reform-has profoundly shaped the period that succeeded it. In the Bajo Aguán region of Honduras-a centre of agrarian reform and then counter-reform-violent conflicts over land have been materially shaped by both peasant, landowner and state repertoires of contention and repression, as well as by peasants' memories of dispossession.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper focusses on the Namasudra leader Jogendranath Mandal (1904-1968), and presents a study of the principal demands submitted by Scheduled Caste legislators over the course of the first half-decade of the Bengal legislative assembly. It seeks to understand these demands and why they were frustrated. It also traces and attempts to explain the withering away of Mandal's initial association with and favourable disposition towards the Congress. In contrast to accepted historiography, it argues that Scheduled Caste politics encompassed demands for representation, education and agrarian reform. It documents how their implementation (particularly the demand for representation) was compromised largely as a consequence of caste Hindu misrecognition.
