Class Dynamics of Agrarian Change

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bernstein, Henry, PUBLISHER: Kumarian Press, Development processes are never neutral. They impact various groups ong>andong> classes of people differently. A high food price may benefit some rich peasants who produce ong>andong> sell food surplus, but it may disadvantage long>andong>less rural laborers. A project on irrigation may benefit those who own the long>andong>, but not the long>andong>less tenants. Nowadays, official documents by governments ong>andong> development agencies tend to lump different groups of people into vague categories like 'rural poor'. This might be useful in some cases, but in large part this thinking can harm the poorest of the poor. "Agrarian Change Today" demonstrates the continuing relevance of class analysis in understong>andong>ing development processes ong>andong> outcomes. It shows clearly ong>andong> accessibly how the argument for 'bringing class back in' provides an alternative to inherited conceptions of the agrarian question on one hong>andong>, ong>andong> to widespread notions of 'people of the long>andong>', 're-peasantization', ong>andong> so on, on the other. It illustrates what is at stake in different ways of thinking about class dynamics ong>andong> the effects of agrarian change in today's globalized world.

Production and Exchange of Stone Tools: Prehistoric Obsidian

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Torrence, Robin, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Originally published in , the aim of this important study was to develop methods for reconstructing the processes of prehistoric exchange. Previous archaeological work had concentrated on mapping obsidian finds relative to source areas using trace-element analysis ong>andong> on investigating the effect of trade on particular cultural groups. Dr Torrence, in contrast, drew extensively on ethnographic analogy to develop an approach that uses differences in the level of efficiency for the acquisition of raw materials ong>andong> the production of goods to infer the type of exchange. Regional patterns of tool manufacture, specialist craft production at central places ong>andong> quarrying are analysed in detail in the context of the prehistoric Aegean ong>andong> previous ideas about the importance of trade in the growth of civilisations are re-assessed. The methodology developed will be applicable to a wide range of artefact types ong>andong> the book will therefore be of value to archaeologists working in many different places ong>andong> periods.

The Politics of Anxiety in Nineteenth-Century American

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Murison, Justine S., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, For much of the nineteenth century, the nervous system was a medical mystery, inspiring scientific studies ong>andong> exciting great public interest.

By the s, the nervous system helped Americans express the consequences on the body, ong>andong> for society, of major historical changes. Literary writers, including Nathaniel Hawthorne ong>andong> Harriet Beecher Stowe, used the nerves as a metaphor to re-imagine the role of the self amidst political, social ong>andong> religious tumults, including debates about slavery ong>andong> the revivals of the Second Great Awakening. Representing the 'romance' of the nervous system ong>andong> its cultural impact thoughtfully ong>andong>, at times, critically, the fictional ong>experimentsong> of this century helped construct ong>andong> explore a neurological vision of the body ong>andong> mind. Murison explains the impact of neurological medicine on nineteenth-century literature ong>andong> culture. Acquista Ora

Austria and Other Margins: Reading Culture

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Arens, Katherine, PUBLISHER: Camden House (NY), In this book Katherine Arens offers a series of case studies that redefine what 'reading culture' can mean in literary ong>andong> cultural studies. The first part traces the ways in which authors borrow ong>andong> rewrite literary traditions across national lines, in order to address problems in their own cultures' histories. In the second set of essays, Professor Arens illustrates how literature can cross other kinds of cultural boundaries, especially those between disciplines; for example, plotting a story as if it were on a stage allows Grillparzer to tell two simultaneous stories at odds with each other; ong>andong> two artists interested in large-group art (Christo ong>andong> Judy Chicago) manipulate their images as modernists to achieve different careers.
