A landmark anthropological study of Indonesian agriculture, examining how ecology, colonialism and population pressure shaped economic and social change.

Clifford Geertz explores swidden and wet-rice cultivation, the effects of Dutch colonial rule, population growth and the process he termed agricultural involution. First published in 1963, the work became an influential study in anthropology, Asian studies and political economy.
