A rich and sensitive portrait of a changing peasantry, this study is also a general inquiry into the nature of stahis, class, and community in the developing world. Robert Hefner presents an analysis designed to bridge the gap between village studies and social history. He describes the forces that have shaped upland politics and society from precolonial times to the Green Revolution today. Book jacket.
