Anthropology and History in Franche-Comt}} A Critique of Social Theory [Hardcover]

Layton's study of continuity and change in rural France and his comparisons with other European regions, make possible a reinterpretation of the eighteenth-century enclosures in England. Here, he presents an engaging dialog between ethnography and social history, suggesting a revision of the theories of Marx, Giddens, and Bourdieu.
