More about the book
Meticulous archival research reveals a nuanced view of nineteenth-century French peasants, portraying them not merely as individualists but as active participants in both traditional and emerging forms of community action. The study centers on Loir-et-Cher, exploring the rise of voluntary associations, particularly those focused on risk reduction, such as livestock insurance, mutual aid societies, and volunteer fire brigades, alongside groups aimed at agricultural protection. This work highlights the complexity of rural social dynamics during this period.
