Americans have always regarded farming as a special calling, one imbued with the Jeffersonian values of individualism and self- sufficiency. As Victoria Saker Woeste demonstrates, farming's cultural image continued to shape Americans' expectations of rural society long after industrialization radically transformed the business of agriculture. Even as farmers enthusiastically embraced cooperative marketing to create unprecedented industry- wide monopolies and control prices, they claimed they were simply preserving their traditional place in society. In fact, the new legal form of cooperation far outpaced judicial and legislative developments at both the state and federal levels, resulting in a legal and political struggle to redefine the place of agriculture in the industrial market. Woeste shows that farmers were adept at both borrowing such legal forms as the corporate trust for their own purposes and obtaining legislative recognition of the new cooperative style. In the process, however, the first rule of capitalism--every person for him- or herself--trumped the traditional principle of cooperation. After 1922, state and federal law wholly endorsed cooperation's new form. Indeed, says Woeste, because of its corporate roots, this model of cooperation fit so neatly with the regulatory paradigms of the first half of the twentieth century that it became an essential policy of the modern administrative state.

La construction d’une « économie de marché » constitue le critère essentiel du processus d’élargissement de l’Europe. Mais qu’entend-on au juste par « marché » ? Peut-on le comprendre autrement que comme un schéma idéal qui transforme les pays candidats en élèves plus ou moins appliqués, mais toujours fautifs ? Et quelle est l’importance du « marché » dans les transformations que traversent les pays de l’Europe de l’Est ? En se fondant sur une enquête de terrain au plus près des pratiques, des représentations et des valeurs des villageois roumains, Sabina Stan montre que la transformation postsocialiste de l’agriculture coopérative ne renoue pas avec son passé « paysan ». Elle s’inscrit dans la continuité des rapports de force qui l’ont structurée durant les dernières décennies du régime socialiste. Au sein de ces rapports de pouvoir, les cadres agricoles occupent une place essentielle, même si l’agriculture coopérative reste soumise aux contraintes du gouvernement, des propriétaires terriens ou de la situation fluctuante de l’agriculture roumaine dans l’économie mondiale. Attentive aux usages sociaux ou familiaux, aux négociations pour le travail ou aux reconfigurations internes au village qu’entraînent les nouvelles mesures de politique nationale, l’auteur établit la nécessité de comprendre de l’intérieur les processus sociaux qui sous-tendent les marchés économiques plutôt que d’appliquer des catégories générales.

Up from the Mudsills of Hell analyzes agrarian activism in Tennessee from the 1870s to 1915 within the context of farmers' lives, community institutions, and familial and communal networks. Locating the origins of the agrarian movements in the state's late antebellum and post-Civil War farm economy, Connie Lester traces the development of rural reform from the cooperative efforts of the Grange, the Agricultural Wheel, and the Farmers' Alliance through the insurgency of the People's Party and the emerging rural bureaucracy of the Cooperative Extension Service and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. Lester ties together a rich and often contradictory history of cooperativism, prohibition, disfranchisement, labor conflicts, and third-party politics to show that Tennessee agrarianism was more complex and threatening to the established political and economic order than previously recognized. As farmers reached across gender, racial, and political boundaries to create a mass movement, they shifted the ground under the monoliths of southern life. Once the Democratic Party had destroyed the insurgency, farmers responded in both traditional and progressive ways. Some turned inward, focusing on a localism that promoted-sometimes through violence-rigid adherence to established social boundaries. Others, however, organized into the Farmers' Union, whose membership infiltrated the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and the Cooperative Extension Service. Acting through these bureaucracies, Tennessee agrarian leaders exerted an important influence over the development of agricultural legislation for the twentieth century. Up from the Mudsills of Hell not only provides an important reassessment of agrarian reform and radicalism in Tennessee, but also links this Upper South state into the broader sweep of southern and American farm movements emerging in the late nineteenth century.
