Some ideological aspects of the articulation between kin and tribute : state formation, military system, and social life in Hesse-Cassel, 1688-1815 / Peter Taylor -- Dark events and lynching scenes in the collective memory : a dispossession narrative about Austria's descent into Holocaust / Hermann Rebel -- Agrarian issues during the French Revolution, 1787-1799 / Peter Jones -- Imagining the harvest in early modern Europe / Liana Vardi -- Naturae ferae : wild animals in South Asia and the standard environmental narrative / Paul Greenough -- Disease, resistance, and India's ecological frontier, 1770-1947 / David Arnold -- Subalterns and others in the agrarian history of South Asia / David Ludden -- Contesting the "great transformation" : local struggles with the market in south India / Ronald J. Herring -- Policies for sustainable development / Herman E. Daly -- Weaving and surviving in Laichingen, 1650-1900 : micro-history as history and as research experience / Hans Medick.
Summary: This book presents an account of an intellectual breakthrough in the study of rural society and agriculture. Its ten chapters, selected for their originality and synthesis from the colloquia of the Programme in Agrarian Studies at Yale University, encompass various disciplines, diverse historical periods, and several regions of the world. The contributors' fresh analyses will broaden the perspectives of readers with interests as wide-ranging as rural sociology, environmentalism, political science, history, anthropology, economics, and art history. The ten studies recast and expand what is known about rural society and agrarian issues, examining such topics as poverty, subsistence, cultivation, ecology, justice, art, custom, law, ritual life, cooperation, and state action. Each contribution provides a point of departure for new study, encouraging deeper thinking across disciplinary boundaries and frontiers.
