Cornel Micu, From Peasants to Farmers? Agrarian Reforms and Modernisation in Twentieth Century Romania. Frankfurt am Main: Peter Lang, 2012
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2014, Vol 19, Issue 19
Abstract
The two guest-editors of the volume have decided to include in the special issue a book review section for two reasons. First, the reviewed books have close links with the agrarian question, the topic of the special issue. Cornel Micu and Aneliya Kuzmanova who are contributors to the volume are reviewers and respectively the author of one of the reviewed books. Thus, the book reviews relect and complete the papers in the volume. Ger Duijzings’ book review addresses an issue which was not openly addressed in the volume: the social diferentiation based on migrants’ remittances. Second, the scarcity of books published on the rural areas in Southeast Europe convinced us to include a review section as an addendum to the special issue.
