Peasant and French

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intricate dynamics between French peasants and national identity in the nineteenth century, this work utilizes cultural studies and social history to explore how modern France has differentiated itself from its rural roots. Rather than depicting the peasantry as losing their identities, it presents a narrative of mutual negotiation and cultural exchange. By situating rural history within the broader context of national identity, the book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between the countryside and the nation.
