The relationship between the agrarian structure of Bangladesh and its problems of rural development is established in this study based on four years (1975-79) of field research. The authors suggest that the concentration of land in the hands of a rural elite is the principal impediment to the participation of weaker sections of the peasantry in economic progress. Tracing the failure of local attempts to change Bangladesh's agrarian structure by legislative means, they outline a modified program for rural development that is linked to agrarian reform. Agrarian reform, Drs. Jannuzi and Peach argue, is the prerequisite for a rural development strategy that provides for both economic growth and improved income distribution; thus, approaches to rural development in Bangladesh that place reliance on new agricultural technology without first changing the institutions that determine peoples' relationships to the land are not viable. The authors' policy recommendations, grounded in new data on the relative proportions of owners of land, sharecroppers, and the landless, are supplemented by a theoretical analysis of the institution of sharecropping and detailed field work methodology.

This book is the output of an ethnographic study conducted in a village of Bangladesh. The main objective of this book is to analyze the pattern of agrarian structure of a Bangladesh in all important aspects of the existing production system and living condition. This book revealed social, economic and technological elements of agrarian structure that characterize the production system of agriculture and its social relations. The social organization, cultural and political condition of the village community has been also described along with its interaction into the wider society in order to explore the pattern of agrarian structure with total social reality in this book. Although the discussion is mostly concentrated on a village to explain its agrarian structure on account of the nature of the analysis, importance has also been given on the broader aspects of the agrarian structure along with its historical development in Bangladesh in this book. Concurrently, results of the previously published relevant books, articles and reports have been used rightly in most of the preceding chapters in this book in order to have a better understanding of the agrarian structure

Land and Labour Relations in South-West Bangladesh documents the ambiguities and limitations of applying rigid theoretical concepts in defining labor, particularly in the context of a South Asian agrarian economy. The author demonstrates that sources of labor are not uniform, and that labor in the rural context is not a homogeneous commodity. Identification of laborers or groups with a common interest does not necessarily fit into the formal definition of laborers based on relationships of possession and separation from the means of production. On the contrary, based on empirical research, the study suggests that defining and identifying the class of laborer demands a critical analysis of the economic and political relations which bind them into the same procession of production and reproduction.
