Críticas: `Comparative studies dealing with time and/or space remain much too rare in the field of development. That is why the book by Willem van Schendel, a professor of comparative history at Erasmus University, Rotterdam, is particularly welcome.... With much finesse and ability the author underlines both similarities and differences, before and under colonial rule, as well as after independence.... Another merit of the book is to raise the curtain that has fallen upon Burma over the past three decades and to provide some very valuable information on that country. In addition, the diversity of the three deltas over a fairly long period of history, the impact of colonial rule, and development strategies following independence are carefully analyzed from a broad perspective involving political, economic, and social aspects of development.... such a stimulating book deserves a place of choice among recent works on Asia.' - Journal of Developing Areas

`an exceedingly competent, well-written, and informative work which answers the questions set forth by the author.... this book is strongly recommended. The text is a veritable gold mine of information on everything from facts on the backbone of the agrarian elite in the Kaveri delta during the late colonial period to the sale of gunny sacks from Bengal to Burma in the postcolonial era.' - Journal of Interdisciplinary History

`well written and informative. It contains an excellent discussion of the rise of capitalism and the relationships between endogenous and exogenous factors in the development of mass poverty. The book is strongly recommended for anyone interested in poverty and historical transformation of rural societies in the third world.' - Geographical Review
