Rural Economic Development in Japan From the Nineteenth Century to the Pacific War (Contemporary Japan)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This important book outlines the development of the rural economy in Japan from pre-industrial times up to the Pacific War. It demonstrates that agriculture was by no means the only economic activity taking place in Japan`s rural areas, that Japanese rural households can best be understood not as passive victims of outside forces, sometimes engaging in individual and community resistance, that rural households responded positively and imaginatively to the issues of agricultural adjustment, becoming `modernized`, but not in ways that substituted technology for labor or that achieved economies of scale, and that this agrarian transition, which was quite different from agrarian transitions in many other countries, laid the foundations for the shape of the rural economy during the high economic growth period and during the second half of the twentieth century.

Barry Reay
Rural Englands

2004 y.
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: This is the first ever general history of nineteenth-century English rural workers. Reay provides a fresh perspective on England`s rural past, reintroducing those often excluded from more traditional historical approaches, and stressing the diversity of working communities and the dynamism of rural life. Reay challenges stereotypes of rural England, arguing that the extent of localization is so compelling that it forces a rethinking of a unitary `rural England`. Формат издания: 14 см х 21,5 см.

Rural Free: A Farmwife`s Almanac of Country Living (Quarry Books)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Rural Free, first published in 1961, beautifully conveys the joys of family life on an Indiana farm. Marked by the slow pace and rich variety of seasonal change, Rachel Peden`s narrative offers an authentic month-by-month chronicle of her family`s daily adventures. Today, as the slow-food movement gathers support and more urban dwellers return to the land to plant roots again in honest soil, Peden`s stories of country life and her lessons on sustainability, frugality, and wastefulness gain a special resonance. Rural Free will be a source of inspiration for all who rejoice in rural virtues and the spiritual freedom of country life. [detailed...]

Rural Indian Social Relations: A Study of Southern Andhra Pradesh (Oxford University South Asian Studies Series)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This work looks at economic behavior in two Indian villages. It empirically compares Marxian theories of semi-feudalism and of compuslive involvement in markets with standard economic theory. Grain markets and formal and informal credit networks in the Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh are examined from these perspectives. Elements of coercion and manipulation by local moneylenders in crop sales by villagers in the late 1980s are contrasted with the assumption that all crop sales are voluntary. Other important issues, such as the subsidized rice schemes of the Andhra state government in the mid-1980s, credit schemes of the central government and broader trends int he development of capitalism in South India, are also examined.

Description: Book DescriptionThroughout their lifetime, men and women are subject to a wide variety of risks, such as illness, accident, death, or less directly, unemployment, crop failure, loss of property, disability, business failure, and skill obsolescence. This book investigates the relationships between rural poverty, risk, and development. Building upon the author?s work in the area, it summarizes the contributions of recent theoretical and empirical work to our understanding of how risk affects ruralpoverty levels in developing countries.

Ways in which these strategies may be re-examined and improved by governments and international organizations are proposed.

Rural Society and Cotton in Colonial Zaire

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This masterful social and economic history of rural Zaire examines the complex and lasting effects of forced cotton cultivation in central Africa from 1917 to 1960. Osumaka Likaka recreates daily life inside the colonial cotton regime. He shows that, to ensure widespread cotton production and to overcome continued peasant resistance, the colonial state and the cotton companies found it necessary to augment their use of threats and force with efforts to win the cooperation of the peasant farmers, through structural reforms, economic incentives, and propaganda exploiting African popular culture. As local plots of food crops grown by individual households gave way to commercial fields of cotton, a whole host of social, economic, and environmental changes followed. Likaka reveals how food shortages and competition for labor were endemic, forests were cleared, social stratification increased, married women lost their traditional control of agricultural production, and… [detailed...]
