Harvest of dissent

"With a blend of political, social, and economic history, Thomas Summerhill's Harvest of Dissent investigates the character of agrarian movements in nineteenth-century central New York to reexamine the nature of Northern farmers' embrace of or resistance to the emergence of capitalist market agriculture. Taking the long view, Harvest of Dissent brings together the events of nearly a century of agrarian radicalism in central New York, from the Anti-Rent movement to the Grange movement as part of a whole." "Based on an unprecedented amount of primary material research, Harvest of Dissent presents a detailed picture of the farmers' lives and what the new market meant for their families, communities, and labor."--Jacket.
