This provocative new volume focuses on the economic features that
make Third World social formations distinctive and on non-property
characteristics such as religion, ethnicity, and culture, that are
central to the survival of these societies. Specifically, the
authors look at the significance and revolutionary potential of
peasant majorities, who take limited advantage of capitalist modes
of production and often manage to maintain their cultural and
economic identity and a degree of independence in the process.
Following the editors' introduction, which explains the conceptual
framework for the study, the historical and structural causes for
the weakness of the basic capitalist classes in the periphery (the
underdeveloped national regions) are examined. The next several
chapters deal with the evolution of classes and institutions in the
periphery, the articulation of peasantries within capitalist and
socialist societies, and the reasons for the resilience of peasant
modes of production. Other topics discussed are the role of the
state--capitalist of socialist--in class formation, the
relationship between the socialist state and the peasantry,
variables in social transformation in the periphery, and the place
of the urban poor in Third World development.
