For over the past century and a half, and still more rapidly in the last seventy years, the world has become increasingly urban, and the peasant way of life-the dominant way of life for humanity since agriculture began well over 6,000 years ago-is disappearing. In this new history of peasantry, social historian Patrick Joyce aims to tell the story of this lost world and its people, and how we can commemorate their way of life. In one sense, this is a global history, ambitious in scope, taking us from the urbanization of the early 19th century to the present day. But more specifically, Joyce's focus is the demise of the European peasantry and of their rites, traditions, and beliefs. Alongside this he brings in stories of individuals as well as places, including his own family, and looks at how peasants and their ways of life have been memorialized in photographs, literature, and in museums. Joyce explores a people whose voice is vastly underrepresented in human history and is usually mediated through others. And now peasants are vanishing in one of the greatest historical transformations of our time. Enlightening, timely, and vitally important, this book commemorates an extraordinary culture whose impact on history-and the future-remains profoundly relevant"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Peasants $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Peasants $z Europe $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Peasants $z Europe $x Social life and customs. 650 6 $a Paysannerie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377410 $z Europe $0 (CaQQLa)201-0421387 $x Conditions sociales. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377410 650 6 $a Paysannerie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379088 $z Europe $0 (CaQQLa)201-0421387 $x MÅurs et coutumes. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379088 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Documents d'information. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001043 941 $a 4 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403014317.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011859.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240402010517.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240305011734.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3AA7B0D4DABE11EEBE8532184BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
