- W624726670 abstract "During the 1950s and 1960s, Italy became an industrial society. The rural world, whichhad hardly changed over centuries, underwent a momentous transformation. This PhDthesis documents the changes in rural central Italy, specifically the Marche and Umbriaregions, between 1945 and 1970, and analyses how this period has been remembered.This research is important because these major changes, including the collapse of thedominant sharecropping system, have had very little attention; central Italy has beenneglected in favour of comparisons between North and South. Those who livedthrough this period have not been heard, and that generation is now disappearing.Fifty interviews were recorded with former sharecroppers and others, in three smallareas in the Umbria-Marche Apennines, during study in Italy in 2005, 2006 and 2007.Local archives and libraries were also consulted.The themes of the five chapters are: the decline of sharecropping; the social role of theChurch and its ownership of land; migration; change through political action andmechanization; and abandonment of the countryside.The research shows that as people left the countryside to work temporarily elsewhere,many in other European countries, the rural population fell and the agricultural labourmarket changed. Farming families had less insecurity and more choice. It finds thatsharecropping persisted until the 1990s, despite legislation intended to end it, butfarmers started to diversify outside the sharecropping contract which no longerdetermined how people lived. The research suggests that the Church prefers to forgetthat priests had to manage parish land under sharecropping. Peasants took politicalaction annually over sharecropping contracts, but this was patchy and is not alwaysremembered. Mechanization, however, is shown to have permanently affected the ruraleconomy. The crumbling of characteristic farmhouses in depopulated landscapes isexamined; their neglect suggests problematic memories of the peasant past." @default.
