Summary: This volume is intended to provide pictures of Indian rural society in the past, from the stand point of relationships and exchanges between the countryside and the more general physical and cultural context of which it is a part. A predominant theme is control over land and people. Others are the impact of British rule, the political role of local networks and ties, and the response to and internalizing of external stimuli. Attempts are made to examine the concepts employed by scholars in relation to the perceptions of the villagers and similarly to interpret economic and social data in radical ways. Peter Robb is Lecturer in Modern South Asian History in the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
