"Studying a rural village in northern Syria during a period of tremendous social and
political change (1940s to 1970s), this book offers a unique perspective on how agrarian
transformations in land distribution and its use deeply affected social and political
relations among a rural community. Embedding the personal with the local and the global,
this work traces the seeds of social, political and economic struggles that are still
important and unfolding in Syria forty years on: changes in social relations brought
about by land policy and technological modernization, divisions and connections between
urban and rural locations, shifts in education and immigration. Thematically, the
study is divided into two parts: the first concerns the historical, socio-economic
and political changes occurring in Syria from the beginning of the twentieth century,
and the second concerns the life histories of particular actors and their perspectives
on social changes. This book is the edited and updated version of Khalaf's original
work, including an 'updating chapter' which brings invaluable insight about the village
and its people at the aftermath of ISIS and the destruction of the war in Syria. Focusing
on the village community of Hawi Al-Hawa, this intensely knowledgeable and personal
account - a rare combination - brings village life in Syria strikingly close. The
volume is an important contribution to the fields of anthropology, social sciences,
Syrian and Middle East studies"
