Peasant societies in the Third World have undergone changes that
are often regarded as sweeping and unparalleled; rapid population
growth, progressive integration into the market economy and a Green
Revolution in agricultural technology. This book is a critical
examination of the truth behind these stereotypes. Twenty-one
specialists in the field of development studies look at the reality
of agrarian change, either through historical analysis, or through
in-depth village field-work, or from their experience as
development planners. The first four chapters provide the
historical context of agrarian change in India, Latin America and
pre-industrial Europe. These are followed by eight detailed case
studies of the impact of the green Revolution at village level in
India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The book finishes with six
analysis of the effectiveness of government policies designed to
intervene in the development process in South Asia and in East
Africa. The contributors to this book share a commitment to an
interdisciplinary approach to the study of development problems.
