POPKIN, SAMUEL L.

The Rational Peasant : The Political Economy of Rural Society in Vietnam

Berkeley: University of California, 1979. Paperback. Scattered yellow highlighting of text, slight crease lower corner back cover.; 14 x 21 cm.; pg. xxi, 306; Preface, bibliography, index, 2 maps. "As the title suggests, Popkin sees the peasant as a shrewd problem-solver, capable of protecting his/her interests--whether through the acceptance of a variety of modern innovations or by challenging the existing elite, creating alternative rural institutions with different 'political entrepreneurs'. Designed partly as a refutation of the book by James C. Scott, THE MORAL ECONOMY OF THE PEASANT, it also draws heavily on American political science theories about individual calculation, risk-taking, and an alleged human preference for impersonal market exchanges rather than trust in patron-client relationships. Popkin is correct to emphasize that some Vietnamese peasants benefited from French colonial changes, but his 'investment logic' fails to explain why peasants also risked death, gaol or property confiscation in opting to join or assist clandestine resistance organizations. Significantly, both Popkin and Scott give the peasants much higher marks for political initiative than was ever true of French administrators or American military commanders.

Univ of California Pr on Demand, 1979. Paperback. Pp: 306. 00 Popkin develops a model of rational peasant behavior and shows how village procedures result from the self-interested interactions of peasants. This political economy view of peasant behavior stands in contrast to the model of a distinctive peasant moral economy in which the village community is primarily responsible for ensuring the welfare of its members.
