{"product_id":"peasant-labour-and-colonial-capital-sugata-bose-9780521033220","title":"Peasant Labour and Colonial Capital: Rural Bengal Since 1770","description":"This book is a critical work of synthesis and interpretation on one of the central themes in modern Indian history - agrarian change under British colonial rule. Sugata Bose analyses the relationships between demography, commercialization, class structure and peasant resistance unfolding over the long term between 1770 and more recent times. By integrating the histories of land and capital, he examines the relationship between capitalist 'development' of the wider economy under colonial rule and agrarian continuity and change. Drawing most of his empirical evidence from rural Bengal, the author makes comparisons with regional agrarian histories of other parts of South Asia. Thus, this study stands on its own in the field of modern Indian social and economic history in its chronological sweep and comparative context and makes the complex subject of India's peasantry accessible to students and the interested non-specialist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sugata Bose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521033225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521033220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.08w x 0.56d","brand":"Sugata Bose","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056241635583,"sku":"9780521033220","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13e5a9e0-f0a4-4bbf-8dc4-2d4f0f23835c.jpg?v=1685040277","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peasant-labour-and-colonial-capital-sugata-bose-9780521033220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
