- Abstract
- This is the first world history of peasants. Peasants have been the single most important social group in human history of the last 10.000 years. Today still one third of the world population live a peasant-way of life. This books tells their story, and their multiple transformations in world history. We concentrate on the three dimensions that constitute peasant history: the organisation of peasant societies (household and kinship relations, village systems, regional networks), their integration within wider societal structures (trade and commerce networks, fiscal systems, power and property relations), and the changing connections between local, regional and global processes. The book uses the innovate concept of frontiers to understand the peasants ‘role in the expansion of village-systems, civilizations, empires, states and global capitalism. Their incorporation as producers of ever-new surpluses instigated mixed, complex and often opposing processes of social and spatial change. We framed this social change in a story of evolving peasant regimes. The genealogy of regimes provides a genuine, global comparative-historical lens to look at the social, economic, political and ecological relations of village-systems, agrarian empires and global capitalism.
