      Producer co-operatives have existed in Franche-Comte since the 13th century. Communities are highly corporate, unlike modern English villages. This is a study of continuity and change in rural France based on fieldwork carried out over a period of 25 years, and on historical documents spanning more than 300 years. The relationships between inheritance rules, management of common land, household labour, and inter-household relations are explored, as well as the impact on villages of national politics and economy. Comparison with other regions of Western Europe allows a reinterpretation of the 18th-century enclosures in England. Robert Layton presents a dialogue between ethnography and social theory, arguing for a revision of the theories of Marx, Giddens, and Bourdieu so as to better explain the mechanisms of continuity, change, and adaptation in social life.
