Information About
This study of the so-called "Green Revolution" in the rice bowl region of Malaysia, based on a year's field-work in a Malay village, aims to provide not merely an interpretation of recent changes in the Malaysian agrarian structure, but also to make an analytical and theoretical contribution to the long-standing intellectual debate on the "agrarian question", that is, the trajectories of agrarian change in the face of increasing capitalist penetration into areas previously dominated by subsistence production.
