Reviews

In a tightly written, nontechnical study, based largely on Soviet archival sources, Robert Edelman raises some major issues in the sociology of peasant political movements in the context of a fascinating Russian case study. Edelman raises important theoretical questions and attempts to answer them in the context of a distinct yet critical area. We are indebted to him for raising the issues with clarity and flair.
