Description
Book SynopsisExamines agrarian radicalism in comparative context from 1500 onward. What unifies the studies is a shared interest in the ways in which agrarian people in the Atlantic world interacted with each other, transmitted and translated ideas, developed new crops or methods, or formulated critiques of the existing social, economic, and political order.
