Opis

Much writing about agragarian change in the Third World assumes that unfree relations are archaic forms, destined to be eliminated in the course of capitalist development. This text argues that the incidence of bonded labour is much greater than generally supposed, and that in certain situations rural employers prefer an unfree workforce.

"Make no mistake. This is some book. One of the best I have read for some time... The challenge of this book should be read, studied and appreciated by all scholars of labour, migration or development."



"a very important contribution to contemporary and historical studies of workers, and class relations into which they are inserted and against which many of them struggle"
