The subject has been attracting attention since the forties when Redfield and few other scholars started anthropological study of the peasantry. This volume covers the "eighties" and brings together principle interests in the field of anthropological study with a clear and definite focus of attention. The volume combines empirical material with theoretical insight and discusses the concept of peasantry of their relative position in society and responses to changing economic and political conditions. These essays written mainly by social anthropologists will be of interest to sociologists, economists and historians. Thus this book provides an important window for the position of peasants in the Third World and therefore be welcomed by students and research workers in a number of disciplines.
