Sinopsis:

“Class Dynamics of Agrarian Change: Agrarian Change and Peasant Studies” by Henry Bernstein provides a thorough analysis of the socio-economic transformations occurring in agrarian societies. Bernstein employs a class-based framework to explore the complexities of agrarian change, focusing on how different classes within rural societies are affected by and respond to economic and social shifts. He delves into the historical and contemporary processes of capitalist development in agriculture, examining the resulting class relations, labor dynamics, and impacts on peasant livelihoods. Through a combination of theoretical insights and empirical evidence, the book offers a nuanced understanding of how agrarian changes are intertwined with broader socio-economic structures.

Bernstein also critically engages with various theories and debates in agrarian studies, challenging simplistic notions of rural development and peasant resistance. He highlights the diverse experiences of rural populations in different global contexts, emphasizing the importance of local conditions and historical trajectories. By integrating perspectives from political economy, sociology, and development studies, “Class Dynamics of Agrarian Change” provides a comprehensive and critical examination of the forces shaping rural life and agriculture today. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the complexities of agrarian change and the evolving dynamics of class in rural areas.
