"Families on Farms: Migrants, Farmers, and the Transformation of Wisconsin's Countryside, 1920s-60s" is a social and cultural history of industrial agriculture in the rural Midwest. It foregrounds the experiences of ethnic Mexican farmworkers who migrated to Wisconsin's fruit and vegetable farms throughout the twentieth century, and examines their relationships with white family farmers, year-round residents, state reformers and other citizens who became embroiled in the changes that occurred as commercial farming transformed the countryside. Ethnic Mexicans who immigrated from Mexico into the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas in the early twentieth century became vital to the development of large-scale, industrial farming in Texas and the Midwest. They harvested a variety of crops in both regions and usually worked as family units in order to supplement the low wages paid to them by growers and agricultural corporations. In Wisconsin, ethnic Mexican farmworkers became viewed and treated as racial outsiders by the year-round community, their status determined and reinforced through the labor they performed, the spaces they inhabited, and the unequal social treatment they endured. By analyzing farmworkers' familial strategies, working conditions, and living spaces in relation to those of white, year-round farming families, we can trace how ideas about race, gender, and citizenship became constituted through the material world of the countryside. Debates unfolded about the place that migrant farmworkers would occupy within farming communities. State and religious reformers, along with some ordinary residents, organized programs to improve farmworkers' living conditions while they toiled in Wisconsin's agricultural fields. Such programs often reinforced ethnic Mexicans' status as outsiders even though they sought to bridge the social divisions that existed between seasonal and year-round residents. As farmworkers continued to migrate after World War II, they forged their own meaningful connections to Wisconsin people and places, challenging the notion that they did not belong there. "Families on Farms" recasts the story of twentieth-century midwestern agriculture by showing how ethnic Mexican farmworkers figured prominently in the material, economic, and social developments that transformed the rural Midwest.

The possibility of nuclear war, the failure of the Green Revolution, the capabilities of genetic engineering, and other actual and potential effects of technological innovations have created demands for a more humane application of technology. Addressing this issue, Technology and Social Change in Rural Areas is a clear assessment of the current state of affairs. The book begins with a discussion of the changing paradigms of technology adoption and diffusion, the dynamics of public resistance, and the question of social responsibility in an age of synthetic biology. In subsequent sections, the contributors assess the revolutionary effect of technology on agriculture worldwide and conclude that radically new public policies are essential; expose the transformations of rural life and communities that result from the localized effects of technology and its use as a weapon in world-system politics; and critically examine the appropriate technology movement. The essays are presented to honor Professor Eugene A. Wilkening for his many pioneering and lasting contributions to the study of technology and rural social change. The book includes an intellectual biography of Professor Wilkening written by his long-time colleague and friend, William H. Sewell.

Beyond Equilibrium Theory is a fundamentally new interpretation of social reality that introduces theories of social formation and transformation, for micro- and macro-analysis of action systems and social movements. Equilibrium and conflict are viewed as societal variants rather than as ideal or natural states. Classical theorists are placed within a common theoretical framework, in an analysis of social order and social change as separate continua. Multiple path models trace changing patterns of partnering and power sharing. Hypotheses are tested with field-collected survey data, regression analysis of higher-order interactions, and comparisons of means adjusted for other effects. Researchers are provided with detailed methods of integrating theory and research, including nonlinear models and new logics of causality.

A Thousand Pieces of Paradise is an ecological history of property and a cultural history of rural ecosystems set in one of the Midwest’s most historically significant regions, the Kickapoo River Valley. Whether examining the national war on soil erosion, Amish migration, a Corps of Engineers dam project, or Native American land claims, Lynne Heasley traces the history of modern American property debates.

The farm crisis of the 1980s quickly became a media event, with scenes depicted starkly in black and white on color TV. The embattled farmers, accompanied by their advocates, stood holding off bankers and sheriffs wielding foreclosure notices. In this new book, using findings from interviews and participant observation, agricultural historian Mark Friedberger peels away the emotion and rhetoric of the "save the family farm" movement to provide a realistic picture of what happened in on important farm state. Shake-out: Iowa Farm Families in the 1980s depicts the farm crisis of the 1980s in all its complexity, providing a useful corrective to popular accounts. Friedberger's approach and his focus on individuals present the problem in America's heartland at a truly grass roots level. Those seeking a better understanding of American agriculture in the 1980s and of rural life generally will find it invaluable.
