Originally published in 1971. In the 1970s, social historians of seventeenth-century France began examining the social changes in the ancien régime in an effort to reconstruct the events leading up to the French Revolution. Thomas Sheppard examines Lourmarin, a mainly Protestant village with a small textile industry. He seeks to answer a series of questions posed at the outset of the book: What was daily life like in an eighteenth-century French village? How was village government organized? To what extent did community leaders regulate village political life? What effect did the Revolution have on life in the village? Sheppard answers these questions with his archival work in Lourmarin. He concludes his work with an investigation of the effects of the Revolution on life in Lourmarin following 1789.

This book is a comparative study of caste and class in two small villages in the Thanjāvūr district of southeast India based on fieldwork done by the author in 1951-3. Differing from the usual village study, Gough's work traces the history of the villages over the past century and examines the impact of colonialism on the district since 1770. The volume's theoretical significance lies in its attempt to define more clearly the characteristics of rural class relations, particularly addressing the question whether Indian agrarian relations are still precapitalist. This study not only provides a vivid account of village life in southeast India in the 1950s (to be followed by a later study done in the 1970s), but also contributes to theory concerning modes of production, class structures in the Third World, and underdevelopment.

Entre le hameau et la ville, le village. Chacun sait ce qu’est un village et l’identifie à une communauté locale, à un espace géographique, économique et politique. Or, il est évident qu’au-delà de cette première référence, un village est infiniment plus que cela : organisations, relations, qui peuvent aussi se formuler en termes de réseaux, de systèmes fluides, avec des extensions lointaines, même internationales. Des chercheurs se sont retrouvés autour de thématiques qui s’imposent, même parfois s’opposent. Une trame cohérente fait finalement ressortir le contour et un certain contenu des “villages” que nous visitons dans ce Cahier à travers quatre perspectives : morphologie sociale (rapports territorialité/parenté, mouvements et sédentarité) ; reproduction ; identité face à l’observateur ; lieu de modernité et de changement.
