Winner of the 'Casa Chata Award' for the Best Book of 1994 (Spanish
edition)
In charting the paradoxical effects of power and knowledge on the
everyday life of subordinate people, this book offers a major
rethinking of domination and the agricultural labor process.
Challenging the belief that ethnography is theoretically weak, the
author provides a fresh perspective on rural workers' responses to
the development of transnational production systems and the
transformations of agrarian structures brought about by the complex
interactions of global and local forces. In questioning ingrained
assumptions about worker consciousness, the author exposes the
naivete of past approaches and the role of power and hegemony in
the micro-politics of human relations.
This book is obligatory reading for anyone interested in current
debates about "resistance," development, and the future of rural
societies.
