Mining a wealth of archival sources, James Livesey unveils how provincial elites and peasant households unwittingly created new practices. Managing local political institutions, establishing new credit systems, building networks of natural historians, and introducing new plants and farm machinery to the region opened up the inhabitants of the province to new norms and standards. The practices were gradually embedded in daily life and allowed the province to negotiate the new worlds of industrial society and capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Gerard Livesey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300237162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300237160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.40w x 0.80d","brand":"James Gerard Livesey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46571132289279,"sku":"9780300237160","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ff66a62-5df9-4741-892b-b3619b682c63.jpg?v=1738807330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/provincializing-global-history-james-gerard-livesey-9780300237160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
