In Revisiting Agrarian Transformations, scholars of agrarian change
return to sites of their earlier research in Southeast Asia to
examine how the rapid pace of change in the countryside is
affecting the places, spaces and people that they originally
studied, sometimes as long as four decades ago. Each of the 14 core
chapters is organized around a change that, based on broader
trends, the authors did not anticipate: a new longhouse in Sarawak,
the urban forests of Java, the assertion of an ethnic minority
identity in Northern Thailand. the re-shaping of class relations
and identities in the Philippines, and the uncontested sell-off of
farmland to cacao entrepreneurs in Sulawesi. These outcomes pose a
challenge to conventional understandings of how the countryside is
being re-shaped, and to what effect. The accounts in this volume
map out diverse pathways to poverty and prosperity. Families who
seemed trapped in poverty decades ago were found to be prospering
after taking advantage of non-farm and educational opportunities.
Others had unexpectedly been thrust into relative deprivation,
pushed aside by industrial agriculture, rural industrialization, or
destructive natural resource extraction. Drawing on a number of
disciplinary traditions and using field approaches honed over
decades of research, the authors in this volume reassess
traditional village studies, analyses of agrarian class formation,
accounts of community forestry and fishing, and explanations of the
implications of rural-urban migration for livelihoods and family
relations. The breadth of the material makes this unique and
exceptionally rich account of rural change a valuable classroom
tool as well as an important source of information for a broad
spectrum of institutions and other stakeholders, from the World
Bank to NGOs and rural activists. Contributors: Raiha Ahmat,
