Product Information
Rural Inventions looks at the transformation of rural France in the 1950s and 1960s when rapid modernization and explosive economic growth drove peasants from the countryside and eroded village traditions. It shows that the French responded not only with nostalgia but also by inhabiting the countryside in new ways. This book explores the rise of restored peasant houses as second residences; utopian experiments in rural communes and in "going back to the land"; environmentalism; the literary success of peasant autobiographies; photography; and other representations through which the French revalorized rural life and landscapes. This book presents postwar rural France as a site not just of decline and loss but also of change and adaptation.

Reviews
"Sarah Farmer knows rural France very well. In this compelling, innovative, and thoughtful study, she lays out what has changed in the countryside, for better or for worse." -- John Merriman, Yale University "In this stunning new history of the French countryside after the Second World War, Sarah Farmer takes us far beyond our usual picture of rural exodus and the much-lamented disappearance of 'peasant civilization.' She reveals a world of teeming creativity, tumult, and reinvention as innovative young farmers, New Left utopians, second-home urbanites, and 'neo-rural' ecologists remade the economic and cultural landscape of rural France. A masterful study, full in arresting insights, and a great pleasure to read." -- Herrick Chapman, New York University "Rural Inventions is a path-breaking history of the urban dwellers in the first decades of the Fifth Republic who thought about the countryside, dreamed about it, and in some cases moved to it, and how this transformed rural France. Some bought second homes; others fought for environmental causes or established communes and organic farms. Sarah Farmer shows that nostalgia for a past defined in terms of place by those who did not originally live there was an engine of change in the countryside. Yet if the city folk experiencing this nostalgia were to see themselves in the picture, this would spoil it for them. This is why they are the absent presence in accounts of postwar rural France. Farmer reveals this presence and its importance." -- Donald Reid, author of Opening the Gates: The Lip Affair, 1968-1981 "France's postwar economic boom transformed the face of the countryside.When growth came to grinding halt in the 1970s, writers and artists reflected on what 'modernization' had done to la France profonde. It was a debate steeped in nostalgia but also one generative of schemes to reimagine what rural living was all about. This is a subject of real significance, which Farmer handles deftly and with an engaging sympathy." -- Philip Nord, Princeton University "This is a magisterial piece of scholarship that breaks new ground by providing a wide-ranging, multi-dimensional perspective on the changes that have affected rural France since World War II.What makes this book extraordinary is the sheer sweep of the analysis conducted by Sarah Farmer and the depth of erudition that she brings to it. Farmer seems equally at home in the musty archives of the Bibliothque Nationale, the films of the Ministry of Agriculture, the popular TV shows and magazines in which rural themes arose, and the immense scholarly and popular literature that rural France has generated over the past hundred years." -- Michael Bess, author of The Light-Green Society: Ecology and Technological Modernity in France, 1960-2000, "Sarah Farmer knows rural France very well.

Challenging the old binary of presumably modern cities and backward provinces, Farmer explores how rural areas adapted to the changes....This short, accessible book, featuring excellent illustrations, reveals a symbiotic relationship between urban and rural France in a format that will appeal to students as well as scholars." -- Choice "Sarah Farmer knows rural France very well.
