Recenzje

’There are definite strengths to the book. The main strength is that the book provides a detailed look at how land reform worked. The chapters are based extensively on interviews with key actors (the selection of respondents was neither random nor stratified). There is a wealth of information, with more detail than I have seen in any other study of farm reorganization and land distribution.’ Slavic Review '...an invaluable guide...It is impressive in its depth, and will certainly provide a wealth of material for future comparative studies in the field of rural sociology.' Slavonic and East European Review
