Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As well as being an outstanding contribution to Indian economic and social history, this book draws important conclusions about peasant politics in general and about the effects of international economic fluctuations on primary producing countries. Dr Bose develops a general typology of systems of agrarian production in Bengal to show how these responded to different types of pressure from the world economy, and treats in detail the effects of the world Depression on Bengal. Separate chapters are devoted to the themes of agrarian conflict and religious strife in east Bengal, the agrarian dimension of mass nationalism in west Bengal and sharecroppers agitations in the frontier regions. The conclusion attempts a synthesis of the typology of agrarian social structure and the periodisation of peasant politics, placing this in the wider context of agrarian societies and protest in other parts of India and in South-east Asia.

Download or read book Tenancy Relations and Agrarian Development written by Sankar Kumar Bhaumik and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1993-09-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The author must be credited with making an objective and analytical study of the highly controversial issues, which more often than not run into ideological warnings. The book deserves the attention of the scholars having interest in this area of research." --Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics Tenancy Relations and Agrarian Development offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex agrarian structure existing in rural West Bengal. Focusing specifically on the issue of share tenancy, the author carefully builds a historical profile of the events which were responsible for the spread of this system in colonial Bengal and which ultimately led to the growth of stringent and exploitative conditions of work which typify West Bengal today. As for the post-independence period, the author examines tenancy reform measures and analyzes the National Sample Survey data as well as actual field data. "Sankar Bhaumik has provided a comprehensive study with an in-depth analysis and careful interpretation of empirical data which will be very useful to social scientists, planners and politicians." --Seminar "Bhaumik's work is commendable in almost pioneering an empirical study on tenancy reforms in post 1977 West Bengal, without losing the overall perspective and framework of these changes." --Social Action "The book serves its purpose well by offering rich evidence and insights to those interested in understanding the issues of tenancy from broad historical as well as empirical perspective . . . . Tenancy Relations and Agrarian Development is a welcome addition to the existing literature on tenancy relations in particular and land reforms in literature on tenancy relations in a particular and land reforms in general. This publication will be useful to policymakers, students, and academicians within and outside West Bengal." --The Administrator "The study provides a clear understanding of the historical processes through which the tenancy system evolved in Bengal, the role it entailed for the partners in tenancy contracts and the manner in which tenancy relations were modified at different phases in history." --Rural Development Abstracts "For many years, scholars have focused on the question of agrarian development in India. Sankar Kumar Bhaumik's book is a very valuable addition to this literature. Concentrating on the issue of tenancy relations in West Bengal, it provides both new insights to changes that have occurred in agriculture there as well as a broader comparative perspective on that form of production for capitalist development as a whole. One of the strengths of this study is its capacity to place its mode of enquiry within the general theoretical debate on share tenancy and to locate its outcomes in terms of the issues raised by this body of literature. Another strength is its understanding of the historical forces which have shaped the condition of post-colonial share tenancy in West Bengal. Indeed, these two factors, along with the comprehensive grasp of available empirical matter, make it an excellent book.... Bhaumik has produced an excellent study, informed not only by a clear mastery of the theoretical and historical literature relating to the issue of tenancy relations in West Bengal, but also by an enviable grasp of the empirical dimensions and details of such relationships. For those interested in tenancy relations in West Bengal, this book is necessary reading. For those interested in tenancy relations throughout India or comparative regions, this book is highly recommended reading." --South Asia

Download or read book Three Deltas written by Willem Van Schendel and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1991-06-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally viewed as the result of scarcity, van Schendel asserts that poverty is the outcome of unequal relationships between groups of people. Rather than believing poverty is a temporary state that will gradually disappear if the economy grows and resources become more plentiful, Three Deltas explores poverty as an indispensable structural feature of the societies in which it occurs. Accordingly, a solution to mass poverty must start from a proper understanding of specific local relations and how they are connected with rural class conflict, proletarianization, agrarian capitalism, state formation, and patterns of peripheralization. As a comparative study, built on a firm foundation of thorough research and investigation, Three Deltas challenges scholars and students interested in development studies, policy studies, sociology, anthropology, and political economy. "I found Three Deltas to be well written and informative. It contains an excellent discussion of the rise of capitalism and the relationships between endogenous and exogenous factors in the development of mass poverty. The book is strongly recommended for anyone interested in poverty and historical transformation of rural societies in the third world." --The Geographical Review "A thoughtful analysis. . .Three Deltas is a finely crafted study of the roots of poverty in South Asia. It provides an expanded view not only of the ramifications of colonial extraction but of the continuity of oppression in independent South Asia. While the picture it paints is bleak, it is nonetheless one that deserves more studies such as this." --The Journal of Asian Studies "There is no doubt that the author achieves his objective in tracing the transformations in processes of surplus accumulation and extraction in the three regions of his study. van Schendel has produced an impressive scholarly work which will be of considerable interest to both area specialist and political economists." --Journal of Contemporary Asia "An exceedingly competent, well-written, and informative work. . .strongly recommended." --Journal of Interdisciplinary History "(A) remarkable book. . . . The merit of the book lies in the skillful treatment of agrarian scenes in three corners of southern Asia without the loss of local perspectives. . . .a commendable work." --American Anthropologist "Comparative studies dealing with time and/or space remain much too rare in the field of development. That is why (this book). . .is particularly welcome. Such a stimulating book deserves a place of choice among recent works on Asia." --Journal of Developing Areas
