Notes
1 See, for example, the magnificent study Harvesting coffee, bargaining wages by Sutti Ortiz (Citation1999), the detailed analysis of property norms in Ghana by Sara Berry (Citation1993), and the longue durée account of changing plantation labour relations in Coffee, workers and wives by Verena Stolcke (Citation1988). Gillian Hart’s (Citation2004) discussion of returning to her field sites in Indonesia along with Nancy Peluso after nearly 30 years of working elsewhere is another excellent discussion of the value – and challenges – of returning.
2 Even Karl Polanyi (Citation1944) cannot really be said to have argued that ‘the great transformation’ he chronicled (which took place over roughly 200 years, from around the implementation of the Poor Laws in 1601 to the dismantling of the Corn Laws in the early 1800s) happened abruptly or always engendered resistance.
3 See especially Silvia Cusicanqui Rivera’s (Citation2012) discussion of lo indio permitido and the broader conversation around de-coloniality as necessary for re-imagining political subjects outside of European concepts such as indigeneity (Quijano Citation2000). There is a considerable literature on the multiple identities among indigenous peoples and rural workers more generally, some excellent examples of which are Bebbington (Citation2004), De la Cadena (Citation2010), Hale (Citation1997), and Valdivia (Citation2005).
