This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print. Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.
Stephen B. Brush is Professor Emeritus of Human Ecology at the University of California, Davis.
"This ecological-economic survey of Uchucmarca in northern Peru makes a solid contribution to ethnographic information. . . . Brush skillfully destroys the myth of the idle peasant an surveys the literature on underdevelopment."" (Library Journal)
