Based on detailed ethnographic material, "New Lithuania in Old
Hands" analyzes the impact that European Union accession has had
upon the country's aging smallscale farmers, and describes how the
reality of Lithuania's EU membership has been a far cry from the
scenarios of wealth and overabundance once promised. The text
reveals that, in many instances, membership has resulted in a
return to subsistence production, increased insecurity and a
reinforcement of kinship obligations. Thus instead of treating the
European Union as an elite project and voicing the support of
various other segments of the population, this volume shows how
broad parts of the rural population have been affected by and
engaged in processes of change following Lithuania's accession -
changes that threaten to have a large impact upon the future of the
country's family structures and its farming demographic.
