An understanding of the processes whereby tribal and traditional peasant communities have been increasingly drawn into national and even global economies demands detailed analysis of the changes in the form and magnitude of appropriations to which the output of direct producers is liable, and also of associated changes in the structure of class and status relations. A quantified account of the appropriations made during one recent year of production in a single Anuradhapura Vedda village is followed by a study of the historical developments that, in the last 150 years, have transformed a predominantly nonappropriate economy into one in which the product of Vedda cultivators is subject both to 'hierarchical' and, increasingly, 'capitalistic' forms of appropriations.
