The Bachelors' Ball: The Crisis of Peasant Society in Bearn
Pierre Bourdieu
Sees the author return to Bearn, the village where he grew up, to examine the gender dynamics of rural France. This book is an account of the way the influence of urban values has precipitated a crisis for male peasants. Tied to the land through inheritance, these bachelors find themselves with little to offer the women of Bearn.
