Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on a wealth of new archival data containing first-person accounts of peasant women's experiences, Engel provides a detailed account of the move from village to city. Unlike previous studies, this one looks at the impact of migration on the peasantry and at the experience of peasant workers in nearby factories and illuminates the personal dimensions of economic and social change.
