商品簡介
Kerans, who is not identified, analyzes the evolution of peasant agriculture in late Imperial Russia, focusing on the processes and technology itself rather than on agrarian relations as most researchers have done. He primarily considers the Tambov province in the Central Agricultural Region of European Russia, where the peasants held their land almost exclusively in communal tenure, the plowland was divided into strips and periodically redistributed, and the supposedly backward three-field system of farming was ubiquitous on peasant lands.
