AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This essay considers patterns of landownership and tenancy both on the eve of and throughout the period of Japanese occupation. Archival and statistical data concerning the village of P'eng-fu are employed in Wickberg's discussion of regional economic development and the agricultural transformations wrought by the 'Green Revolution'. A number of hypotheses are considered in relation to the prevalence of landownership and tenancy, household size and income, and general economic change.
