The conference was sponsored by the Joint Committee on South Asia of the Social Science Research Council and the American Council of Learned Societies, and by the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. The transformation of Sri Lanka's agrarian structures in recent times has been both complex and uneven. While the overall direction of change has been towards more capitalist forms of organization, as defined by the expanded use of wage labor and the re-orientation of peasant production from subsistence to the market, the trans formation processes themselves have been heterogeneous and contradictory, as well as regionally variable. This volume seeks both to explore the range and to elucidate the complexity of these processes.
