Peasant Sociology

Peasant sociology is the study of the social structures, behaviors, and relationships of rural farming communities, often referred to as peasants. It examines how these groups organize their lives, interact with each other, and respond to socio-economic changes. This field highlights issues such as land ownership, labor practices, cultural traditions, and the impacts of modernization. Researchers analyze how peasants maintain their identities and adapt to external pressures, including globalization, policies, and market forces, providing valuable insights into resilience and social dynamics in rural settings.
