From peasant to proletarian : capitalist development and agrarian transitions

Abstract

The principal arguments in this book centre around the historical and contemporary debates about `the agrarian question' . In this sense, the sub-title of the book is rather more accurate than the main title, a situation perhaps not uncommon when considerations of commerce impell the primacy of alliteration rather than exactitude . That minor irritation aside, I found this book rich in erudition and spluttering with good ideas . The authors' comprehensive account of Marxist discussions of agrarian issues and their strong familiarity with a wide range of Latin American literature, is especially impressive .
