- Summary:
- Indian villagers are often believed to live highly constricted lives: opportunities for change and innovation are limited by poverty, scarce resources, tradition and superstition, and the domination of big landlords and moneylenders. Adopting two diverse perspectives, that of an insider and an outsider, the book dismisses such stereotypes and provides varied stories and family histories of villagers who have-contrary to expectations-actively improved their lives and built new institutions and cooperative enterprises.
