Description

Karl Marx Collective was a groundbreaking study of the Soviet collective farm system when it first appeared in 1983. Caroline Humphrey's meticulous ethnographic work on two collective farms in Siberia provided an intimate account of life under a planned economy.

Now revised and updated with new material from her recent research, this book offers a nuanced exploration of the post-Soviet landscape. Humphrey examines how collective farms have adapted to economic and political changes, revealing that they remain dominant agricultural forms not out of nostalgia, but due to necessity.

This study will appeal to scholars and students of anthropology, politics, economics, and sociology, offering valuable insights into the complexities of Soviet-era collectivization and its ongoing impact on rural communities.
