| Summary: | The incorporation of Third World countries into the world
capitalist system brought about far-reaching repercussions on
the social, political and economic structures of less-developed
societies. A study of the changes associated with capitalist
penetration is therefore necessary to understand the
contemporary situation of these societies. The present study
was an attempt in this direction to understand the
trans formative impact of the phenomenon at the village level.
Primarily, it aimed at examining the dominating influence of
capitalist penetration in the form of plantation agriculture on
the nature and dynamics of class formation in the study area.
Specifically,it investigated the following:(i) class
structure and class relationships of Maguindanaons during the pre-plantation period; (ii) the process of penetration of
plantations in Mindanao - Sulu and in the village in particular;
and (iii)the relations of production that emerged as a result
of the entry of the plantation. |
