AB  - 'Rural Inventions' looks at the transformation of rural France in the 1950s and 1960s when rapid modernization and explosive economic growth drove peasants from the countryside and eroded village traditions. It shows that the French responded not only with nostalgia but also by inhabiting the countryside in new ways. This text explores the rise of restored peasant houses as second residences; utopian experiments in rural communes and in 'going back to the land'; environmentalism; the literary success of peasant autobiographies; photography; and other representations through which the French revalorized rural life and landscapes. This work presents postwar rural France as a site not just of decline and loss but also of change and adaptation.
