- W2484459832 abstract "In 2003, Korean farmer Lee Kyung Hae committed suicide outside WTO ministerial talks in Cancun, Mexico. He was carrying a sign that read ‘the WTO kills farmers’ when he stabbed himself in the chest with a knife. A qualified agricultural scientist from a wealthy background, 56-year-old Lee had established a thriving herd of 300 beef cattle, set up a farm school on his land in North Cholla Province and, in 1988, won a UN award for rural leadership (Watts, 2003). This success turned sour, however, when the newly liberalised market opened up to competition from Australian beef. Lee became debt-ridden and threatened with the loss of his farm, a plight shared by his fellow small-scale tenant farmers, whose borrowings had increased fourfold over the previous ten years while their incomes had increased by only 10 per cent (ibid.). Politically engaged and increasingly radical, in the years before his death Lee was a central figure in the formation of the Korean Advanced Agriculture Federation. In the days following his suicide, the crowds of farmer activists at Cancun chanted: ‘We are all Lee, we are all Lee.’ For La Via Campesina, Lee’s personal sacrifice has become a ‘condensation symbol’, a ‘shorthand means by which large numbers of beliefs, feelings, values, and perhaps worldviews are telegraphed to others sharing a similar culture’ (Johnson-Cartee, 2004, p. 166). His story projects the food sovereignty movement as ‘a political imaginary’ (Patel, 2006, p.85), characterised by persistent engagement, commitment, social justice, democracy and human rights." @default.
