'A remarkably interesting account of Indonesian agricultural
history, primarily covering the period of Dutch control, from 1619
to 1942. Drawing on ecology, sociology, and economics,
Geertz...provides an insightful and persuasive analysis' - "The
Annals". 'If colonial geography ever succeeds in establishing
itself as a discrete and integral focus of inquiry, it may well
date its majority to the publication of "Agricultural Involution"'
- "Geographical Record". 'A brilliant and superbly written
study...an incisive, even frightening description of the most
crucial dilemma in contemporary Indonesia' - "Agricultural
History". 'A valuable and important study...in which source
materials from history, economics, soil science, geography and
other fields are brilliantly marshalled and interrelated. But
besides being an exemplary study in the interaction of history,
physical environment and agricultural technology, this book
represents a watershed between narrowly conceived ethnographies and
the flood of verbose and ill digested post-war
'technology-and-social-change' monographs that are wont to aim high
and hit wide...A model of comparative analytical writing' - "Man".
