In this anthropological investigation of the nature of an underdeveloped peasant economy, Joel S. Kahn attempts to develop the insights generated by Marxist theorists, by means of a concrete case study of a peasant village in the Indonesian province of West Sumatra. Dr Kahn's book is unusual for its combination of a theoretical analysis of underdevelopment with a detailed regional study.
