"Although Geertz composed Agricultural Involution some fifty years ago, it remains relevant to this day. . . . it is difficult not to draw parallels to current political ecology issues across the globe. How the land is used, and at what social and environmental costs, is material to the whole of humanity and the ramifications are at a tipping point. In that sense, Agricultural Involution was ahead of its time." * International Journal of Anthropology and Ethnology * "[A]head of its time." * International Journal of Anthropology and Ethnology * "A valuable and important study...in which source materials from history, economics, soil science, geography and other fields are brilliantly marshalled and interrelated. But besides being an exemplary study in the interaction of history, physical environment and agricultural technology, this book represents a watershed between narrowly conceived ethnographies and the flood of verbose and ill digested post-war 'technology-and-social-change' monographs that are wont to aim high and hit wide...A model of comparative analytical writing." * Man * "A brilliant and superbly written study...an incisive, even frightening description of the most crucial dilemma in contemporary Indonesia." * Agricultural History * "If colonial geography ever succeeds in establishing itself as a discrete and integral focus of inquiry, it may well date its majority to the publication of Agricultural Involution." * Geographical Record * "A remarkably interesting account of Indonesian agricultural history, primarily covering the period of Dutch control, from 1619 to 1942. Drawing on ecology, sociology, and economics, Geertz...provides an insightful and persuasive analysis." * The Annals * "Although Geertz composed Agricultural Involution some fifty years ago, it remains relevant to this day. . . .a comprehensive inquiry into the relationship between culture and nature." * International Journal of Anthropology and Ethnology *
