Thesis (Ph.D.)--New School for Social Research, 1998.

This book is a regional social history of Ecuador's southern coast that places the political struggles of peasant-workers at the center of broader processes of state formation and capitalist transformation. Through archival research and oral history, I start with the United Fruit Company's entrance into the zone, tracing the formation of peasant-worker communities and organizations, their relationships with state and capital, and their uneven emergence into a regional social movement over the course of several decades. This peasant movement, which began in the fields and communities of United Fruit's largest enterprise during the 1930s, not only forced foreign capital from the zone and led to the emergence of contract farming, but placed agrarian reform on the political agenda and threatened the foundations of state power.

520 $a This book is a regional social history of Ecuador's southern coast that places the political struggles of peasant-workers at the center of broader processes of state formation and capitalist transformation. Through archival research and oral history, I start with the United Fruit Company's entrance into the zone, tracing the formation of peasant-worker communities and organizations, their relationships with state and capital, and their uneven emergence into a regional social movement over the course of several decades.

520 $a What this anthropological history suggests is that once the political struggles of variously situated human actors are placed where they rightly belong--at the heart of "economic" processes and seemingly abstract categories such as "capital," "the state" and "global restructuring"--our understanding of capitalism is necessarily altered. How have peasant-worker struggles been integral to the formation of particular forms of state and class power, as well as broader processes of socio-economic change?
