Agrarian Capitalism in Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9780807857106 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Susan Mann focuses on a longstanding controversy in sociological theory: why has agriculture been traditionally resistant to wage labor? Capitalist develoment has been slower and more uneven in agriculture than in other spheres of production, and major parts of the rural economy remain almost preindustrial in their reliance on family labor, lack of separation between industry and household, and failure to develop a highly specialized division of labor. Emphasizing the agriculture of the American South, Mann adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing insights from history and economics as...

Waking Their Neighbors Up: The Nashville Agrarians Rediscovered
ISBN: 9780820334752 / Angielski / Miękka / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Stung by attacks upon the South following the celebrated Scopes "monkey trial" in the 1920s, some of the poets comprising the Fugitive group at Vanderbilt University--notably John Crowe Ransom, Donald Davidson, Allen Tate, and Robert Penn Warren-- conceived the idea of a symposium that would argue for the worth of an ordered, traditional society as an alternative to what they perceived as the increasing materialism of their times. The Fugitives were joined by eight other southerners, and the result was the 1930 Agrarian manifesto "I'll Take My Stand." Published in 1982, this retrospective...
