Agrarian Crisis Rural Depopulation Small Farmers Robert Schwartz Mount Holyoke College

State of the question Rural depopulation Rural mobility: significant but not new, 1820s-1920s. New after 1850s: shift from temporary to definitive moves Returns: up to 40% of individual migrants move back by age 45 [findings from studies based on samples, e.g., A. Rosental; J-C Farcy and A. Faure]. “Rural exodus” 1860s-1920s? Not a sudden, massive departure and uprooting everywhere . . . . But a gradual, uneven redistribution of the rural population that varied over time and space during this period. Evidence?
