Can any of you recommend books similar to this masterpiece? Or any which present a good counter-argument to its central claim[s]?
https://www.amazon.com/Peasants-into-Frenchmen-Modernization-1870-1914/dp/0804710139the whole history of national identity and the destruction of local/particular cultures is pretty interesting. Lots of it is tied in with agriculture (restricting peoples ability to have small farms), communications technology, mass education, and transport technology. I don't read commie bullshit because im not a fag A big thing that went on in the appalachian regions were rockefeller backed schools intentionally banned traditional folk song and folk dance and told kids their parents were evil and backwards and would confiscate their instruments if they were found to be playing traditional music?Sound weird?The same thing happened all over europe as part of the nationalization of prussia and france (the two I've lookd into atleast).They all did intentional stuff to ban local dialects and traditional culture explicitly and openly as a way of maintaining national order. For the technological aspect I'd recommend Harold Innis and Marshall Mcluan. https://www.amazon.com/Bias-Communication-2nd-Harold-Innis/dp/0802096069

>>24769992>Can any of you recommend books similar to this masterpiece?Vladimir Andrle 1988 Workers in Stalin's Russia: industrialization and social change in a planned economy
>>24771658Is it a pro-Soviet text or dispassionate?
>>24771939>Is it a pro-Soviet text or dispassionate?Andrle's research interest is one that a pro-worker anti-nomenklatura communist would take. The work meets the standards of academic historiography: but then again there's no need to lie when Stakhanov was a manager, and the "new" Soviet Working Class was produced by the 1930s.For that matter, EP Thompson _Making of the English working class_ which is an aristocratic UK communist claiming that radical liberalism and owner operator small businessmen were far more important than factory girls.

>>24773358Read about the London Mob in section 3 and the Frame Knitters in section 1 ;). They're not important because they caused it, they're important because they got fucked harder than the Black Jacobins or Orphan Machine Operator Girls.
