The role of agricultural mechanization in the labor process in
rural Egypt is the focus of this book, the first major
anthropological study in Upper Egypt in a generation. Based on data
gathered from a large village, the book portrays population trends,
land-tenure patterns, irrigation practices, agricultural labor,
mechanization, and marketing, and examines their implications for
religion and local politics. The author emphasizes the changing
role of the household and the relations between households,
particularly the role of women and children. Especially important
is Dr. Hopkins's interpretation of the process of differentiation,
where class is seen as a dynamic outgrowth of the labor process
rather than simply deduced from ownership or control of property.
The paradox of his Egypt study is that while objective
differentiation is present, class consciousness is not. Patterns of
social control based on hierarchy and deference are still strong
and ensure the reproduction of the social system.
