Download or read book Beyond Patronage and Exploitation written by Jan Breman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1974, this classic work focuses on the relationships between landowners and the landless. It is now reissued with an extensive new section, 'Dynamics of Poverty' which grew out of the author's return to his field-area after a period of thirty years. It is rare to have a longitudinal study of the same society for such a long period of time; as such this is a unique and important contribution to the field of historical sociology. It will also be instrumental for formulating policy in developing countries for years to come.
