The notion of ‘the peasant’ has been very much debated. In order to identify the particular conditions of peasant livelihood, the characteristics of the peasant economy and society and how they are related to capitalism are investigated first. An analysis of peasant livelihood in Sudan and particularly in Kutum follows. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
