Two spin-offs from SftP have continued-- the genetics group and NWAEG, the New World Agriculture and Ecology Group. The latter survived because our professional work was directly imbued with a SftP radical critique of our fields in developing the scientific content as well as polemicizing about ecological agriculture.Faculty members maintain continuity at a number of campuses and students flow through the local groups as they encounter the impact of imperialism in the tropics or rebel against the narrowness of the curricula they are exposed to.
