"Latar alam pedesaan dengan kehidupan masyarakat lapis bawah yang menjadi kekuatan utama cerita-cerita Ahmad Tohari telah mendorong para peneliti dan peminat sastra untuk membicarakan karya-karyanya. Akan tetapi penelitian yang telah dilakukan lebih banyak diarahkan pada trilogi novel "Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk". Sedangkan terhadap novel pertamanya, "Di Kaki Bukit Cibalak", sementara ini belum pernah ada yang membicarakan novel tersebut dari segi sosiologis. Pembicaraan terhadap novel "Di Kaki Bukit Cibalak" merupakan sesuatu hal yang perlu dilakukan, terutama untuk mengetahui potensi Ahmad Tohari sebagai pengarang. Adapun masalah yang diangkat dapatlah dirumuskan dalam bentuk pertanyaan sebagai berikut: bagaimanakah situasi dan proses perubahan sosial yang digambarkan dalam novel "Di Kaki Bukit Cibalak", dan bagaimanakah sikap generasi muda dalam novel tersebut terhadap proses perubahan sosial yang sedang terjadi. Untuk mendukung analisis akan digunakan pendekatan sosiologis. Namun demikian, teks sastra tetap menjadi acuan utama. ......The rural conditions as the background with the second grade society that became the main power of Ahmad Tohari's story has encourage the scientist and literary comunity place this story as the main topic.

"All over Southeast Asia, rural communities are in transition to a sustainable status. This book explores how an environmentally fragile upland community in rural Philippines coped with and responded to economic and environmental tensions brought about by a globalized economy and decentralization. This in turn gave rise to local power especially in the management of natural resources."

"Farmers suicides have largely been framed through official suicide statistics, and they have been explained in terms of agrarian production-related crisis across geographies. Based on ethnographic work in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, this book offers a qualified challenge to such explanations. First part of the book describes local transformations that are taking place in interconnected domains of production, consumption, and social relationships. The attempted transition from a century-long involvement in rain-fed groundnut cultivation to groundwater-irrigated horticulture, which is being actively promoted by a pro-market state, has aggravated production-related risks in this fragile ecological zone. The book then explains how production risks contribute to causing anomic frictions amongst local small and middle farmers who aspire to adopt refined lifestyles and consumption practices. Emergent ideas of individualism, competitiveness, and status inequality are stressing familial roles and bonds. A key argument advanced here is that these local processes, their subjective experiences, and the manner in which they are acted upon, are all mediated by the local ideology of masculinity. Against the background of new social and economic processes, the second part of the book suggests that officially certified cases of farmers suicides are not always marked by farm-related economic factors in an objective and uniform manner. In other words, the entire process of production of official statistics of suicide is socially organized. The book concludes by suggesting that farm-related suicides relate to the wider field of rural suicides through new ideas and practices around individual and family honour, status inequality, and dignity."
