I didn't finish this book, so I will refrain from rating it. I was expecting a more general analysis of rural society, but instead it is very specifically about French peasant societies during the transition from feudal to capitalist relations. It's interesting, but also dry reading, and I was hoping to apply what I learned in this book to my analysis of local conditions. There are no peasants, and as far as I'm aware no French villages, in the Pacific Northwest, so I'm going to turn my attention to other resources. Perhaps someday I will return to this.
