Abstract: This essay discusses the theory of uneven and combined development, illustrating its dynamics by examples from ethnographic research in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The focus is on women's "everyday forms of resistance" through their continuing participation in matrilineal and Islamic traditions at the same time as they are incorporated into the international wage-and-market economy. Refinements in the theory are suggested based on feminist criticism and the responses of Negeri Sembilan women to capitalist development.
