This book analyses the changing context and conditions of
production and livelihood amongst Southeast Asia's peasants since
the beginning of the nineteenth century. It argues that with
demographic growth and the nineteenth century development of great
global markets based on small-scale production, the size and
economic significance of peasantries throughout the region was
magnified. However, such changes brought with them new forces -
stronger states, more regular legal systems, a revolution in
communications, intensive commercialisation - which themselves
worked to undermine the foundations of peasant society and,
eventually, to transform peasants into farmers, workers and
citizens.
