Book Synopsis
Challenges the notion that modernization is a homogenizing process. This book contends that in the course of large-scale transformations communities often reproduce and strengthen distinctive cultural and social features. It focuses on the French farming community of 'Ste Foy' during a period of rapid change (1945-75).

Trade Review
"Roger's own research leads to considerable theoretical and methodological insights and she successfully discredits at least two uses of history in anthropological research... [This book] is a fascinating, first-rate, scholarly enterprise."-- French Review
