It criticised the prevailing view that African agriculture was primitive or backward, and attacked the notion that poverty and lack ofdevelopment were a result of 'traditionalism'. Bundy's work introduced the idea that by the late nineteenth and early twentieth century capitalist development in South Africa was increasingly hostile to peasant producers and a massive onslaught was launched against them - the understanding of this was vital to an understanding of both the South African past and present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47515715535010,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/71soaqMoqkL._SY342.jpg?v=1786610408","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/rise-and-fall-of-the-south-african-peasantry-by-colin-bundy-1","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
