Krátky popis
‘A dozen pages in I realized that I had been waiting for much of my
life to read this extraordinary book’ Annie ProulxA way of life
that once encompassed most of humanity is vanishing in one of the
greatest transformations of our time: the eclipse of the rural
world by the urban.In this new history of peasantry, Patrick Joyce
tells the story of this lost world and its people. In contrast to
the usual insulting stereotypes, we discover a rich and complex
culture: traditions, songs, celebrations and revolts, across Europe
from the plains of Poland to the farmsteads and villages of Italy
and Ireland, through the nineteenth century to the present day.
Into this passionate history, written with exquisite care, Joyce
weaves remarkable individual stories, including those of his own
Irish family, and looks at how peasant life has been remembered -
and misremembered - in contemporary culture.This is a people whose
voice is vastly underrepresented in human history. Yet for Joyce,
we are all the children of peasants, who must respect the
experience of our ancestors. This is particularly pressing when our
knowledge of the land is being lost to climate crisis and the rise
of industrial agriculture. Enlightening, timely and vital, this
book commemorates an extraordinary culture whose impact on our
history and our future remains profoundly relevant.
