The fate of peasants, agricultural labourers and others who leave the agrarian sector, either temporarily or permanently, to seek employment in towns and cities, must be of great interest to anyone concerned with the peasantry. Yet it is an area about which we are remarkably ignorant. Jan Breman's study of the 'labour relations' (or, one might say, the 'poverty') of those who are, to a significant extent, first-generation town-dwellers, or who, indeed, although they seek employment in towns, have not yet severed their connections with the countryside, is extremely enlightening in this respect. Although it is not directly about peasants we publish it as an important contribution to our knowledge of this hitherto 'dark' area, in which rural origins or connections are of manifest significance. The author employs the 'informal'/'formal' sector dichotomy, with suitable scepticism, to examine in great detail the labour system outside agriculture in the Valsad district of South Gujarat.∗∗ Notes Department of Comparative Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Erasmus University, Rotterdam.
