dc.description.abstractThis is a study in the anthropology of development dealing with the role of technological innovation in the process of agrarian change. The approach taken here will avoid crude technological determinism and adopt a dialectical view of technological and social change. In emphasizing the diffusion of ideas and technology from the developed to the underdeveloped world, many, if not most, analyses take into account only the external factors which lead to development while ignoring the internal ones, that is, this social, political and economic relation within the underdeveloped society which may impede or accelerate change.en
