Description
The paper attempts to develop a useful typology of peasant
societies by focusing on the statal structure in which the peasants
are involved. The economic dynamics of agrarian states are considered
and on this basis it is determined that there are at least two types--
capital-domains and labor-domains--and therefore at least two types
of peasantry.
The economic variables that specify the types are employed to
account for differences in the political-legal systems of the types.
Analysis of selected ethnographic data is presented. A new, and
hopefully more useful, definition of peasantry is presented.
The analysis attempts to systematize the melange of theory
concerning peasant society. The major works, especially Wolf, are
considered. The analysis incorporates a theoretical framework for
the study of plantation societies, previously a theoretical
no-man's land.
