This book weaves a social, economic and cultural history of
Australia with rare first-hand accounts of the lived experience of
change related to farming and agriculture. It provides a rich
sociology of how living on the land has changed throughout
Australia's history. The book investigates the complex effects of
the state on everyday life, using an historical agricultural case
study of place to explore long-running sociohistorical processes of
change examined through both a macro and micro sociological lens.
This provides a multi-faceted perspective from which to examine
economic, social and cultural transformations in each of these
contexts and change is examined through multiple sites of
expression: public policy and the role of the state; colonial
processes of dispossession; social and cultural systems of value;
economic change and its consequences; farming practices and lived
experience; neoliberalism and globalisation and their social
impacts; community decline and trends toward corporate and foreign
land ownership. Each of these transformations impact upon lived
experience and everyday life and this book provides grounded
insight into exactly this relationship and process.
