After an academic remembrance, the essays explore such topics as the social position of small farmers in India, the nature of work in the Bengal borderlands during the Partition, and the role of landlord credit in Filipino rice cultivation in the 1920s. Also included is a bibliography of Breman's writings. Distributed in the US by South Asia Books. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
