From the author: The rice cultivators of Alaotra, Madagascar, resist changes in timework experience initiated by the green revolution. Cultivators observe taboo days for economic, social, and cultural reasons and as an evasive tactic in the face of state intervention in landownership and cropping patterns. Peasant work rhythms are not mindless adherence to tradition: they are logical responses to economic and social constraints and signify cultural practices that ensure group identity and the continued existence of cultural rules.
