General histories of the twentieth century will have much to say
about the establishment, spread, maintenance and sudden collapse of
Soviet Communism. This book outlines a major feature of
twentieth-century world history that arguably affected more people
than the rise and fall of Soviet Communism. It was the first to
discuss as related developments the many attempts in Asia and
Africa in the third quarter of the twentieth century to create
egalitarian rural societies (landlord abolition in Egypt, India and
Iran; ujamaa in Tanzania; land reform in Indonesia;
collectivization in China, Vietnam and Ethiopia), their failure,
and the differentiated rural regimes which, despite landlord
abolition, remain there to this day. The case studies include
Egypt, India, the three East African countries, Papua New Guinea,
Iran, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Ethiopia, China and Vietnam.
The book highlights a major and hitherto disaggregated aspect of
twentieth-century world history.
