Description: A fresh interdisciplinary analysis of rural society and agrarian issues
Review Quotes: "This volume is both demanding and rewarding. It transgresses disciplinary boundaries, supplementing disciplinary approaches to nationalism, tensions of empire, and postcolonial dilemmas. It has a great deal to offer researchers in agrarian societies undergoing processes of capitalist, colonial, and postcolonial change."--Joan Vincent, Current Anthropology
"A distinctive and distinguished collection, this volume includes the best work from the most interesting agrarian scholars."--James C. McCann, Boston University
