Mark Ramseyer's Odd Markets in Japanese History is a stimulating, infuriating, and truculent series of essays..." David L. Howell, Monumenta Nipponica "This is a provocative and original book, one well worth reading and thinking about." Stephan Salzberg, Pacific Affairs "Viola's book opens a fascinating window on the peasant world...Viola forces us to ask new and different questions about collectivization.
