This book weaves a social, economic and cultural history of Australia with rare firsthand accounts of the lived experience of change related to farming and agriculture. It provides a rich sociology of how living on the land has changed throughout Australias history. The book investigates the complex effects of the state on everyday life, using an historical agricultural case study of place to explore longrunning sociohistorical processes of change examined through both a macro and micro sociological lens. This provides a multifaceted perspective from which to examine economic, social and cultural transformations in each of these contexts and change is examined through multiple sites of expression public policy and the role of the state colonial processes of dispossession social and cultural systems of value economic change and its consequences farming practices and lived experience neoliberalism and globalisation and their social impacts community decline and trends toward corporate and foreign land ownership.
