Este ensayo examina la relacion entre los cambios en la organizacion de la produccion en las plantaciones azucareras cubanas a fines del siglo XIX y la subsiguiente movilizacion de la oposicion contra el regimen espanol. Se sostiene que la relativa eficacia del movimiento anticolonial de la decada de 1890 fue posible, en parte, debido al caracter especifico y al momento oportuno del proceso de emancipacion y de la transicion de la esclavitud al trabajo libre

Wilson reviews 'SOCIAL POWER AND EVERDAY CLASS RELATIONS: Agrarian Transformation in North Bihar' by Anand Chakravarti.

AbstractThe dialectical relationship between secularism and capitalism, where contradictions in this relationship are resolved on the basis of class relations, results in various state‐religion relationships in different social formations. The limitations and particularities of secularism are exaggerated in countries that arrived late at capitalism, such as Turkey. These late‐developers are subject to the dynamics of uneven and combined development. This paper borrows from Marxism, particularly the theory of uneven and combined development, in order to explore the relationship between the consolidation of the modern nation‐state and its secularisation process during the bourgeois revolution of 1923 in Turkey.

The work of Savage et al. in relation to the Great British Class Survey is acknowledged as an important contribution to a reinvigorated sociological research agenda on class, with a major public impact, but it is argued that the analysis, although bold and responsive to current social transformations, is flawed. Three weaknesses are identified: the approach to class is gradational, not relational; the markers of cultural capital used in the model are highly selective, therefore skewing the empirical findings, and lead to a negative view of working-class culture; and the model of latent classes resulting from the analysis is not coherent, with groupings that might be better distinguished as class fractions. Finally, an alternative deductively based class schema is proposed, which tries to accommodate contemporary change.
