Agricultural workers have long been underrepresented in labour
history. This volume aims to change this by bringing together a
collection of studies on the largest group of the global work
force. The contributions cover the period from the early modern to
the present - a period when the emergence and consolidation of
capitalism has transformed rural areas all over the globe. Three
questions have guided the approach and the structure of this
volume. First, how and why have peasant families managed to survive
under conditions of advancing commercialisation and
industrialisation? Second, why have coercive labour relations been
so persistent in the agricultural sector and third, what was the
role of states in the recruitment of agricultural workers?
