2012年4月18日星期三，来自乌干达北方Amuru区的80至100名妇女脱光衣服，抗议阻止将她们从她们声称属于自己的土地上驱逐出去。他们是在当地区委员会代表和糖业公司Madhvani Group的测量员面前这样做的，该公司在该地区寻找种植甘蔗的土地。通过抵制剥夺和挑战国家暴力，小农重申了农村社会斗争的政治重要性，并强调了土地和农业问题的重要性。通过把社会斗争的控制，获得和使用土地和现有的社会关系-财产和劳动制度-在社会分析的核心，本文旨在促进进一步理解当代土地掠夺的性质和农民抵抗的性质。它认为，日益升级的农村社会抗议活动表现在日常的、隐蔽的抵抗做法和公开的、战斗性的反抗时刻，其目的是（重新）建立和确保获得社会再生产的手段。然而，这些斗争累积起来体现了对土地主权和自治的要求，而维斯资本主义市场和国家。
On Wednesday 18 April 2012, between 80 and 100 women from Amuru District in northern Uganda stripped naked in a protest to block their eviction from land they claim is rightfully theirs. They did this in front of representatives of the Local District Board and surveyors of the sugar company Madhvani Group, the firm seeking land in the area for sugarcane growing. By resisting dispossession and challenging state violence, small-scale poor peasants reiterated the political salience of rural social struggles and highlighted the significance of land and agrarian questions. By placing social struggles over control, access and use of land and existing social relations – property and labour regimes – at the core of social analysis, this papers aims to contribute to further understanding both the character of contemporary land grabs and the nature of peasant resistance. It argues that escalating rural social protests manifested in both everyday, hidden practices of resistance and moments of open, militant contestation are aimed at (re)establishing and securing access to means of social reproduction. Yet these struggles cumulatively embody claims of land sovereignty and autonomy vis-à-vis capitalist markets and state.
