AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study examines how the smaller subsistence farmers of western Ireland reproduced themselves and their particular economic and social system far more efficiently than the commercialized farms in the eastern part of the country. Despite their greater poverty, western farmers were more flexible in life choices, particularly regarding marriage and migration. Marriage rates characteristic of most of peasant Ireland in the mid-nineteenth century was still true for western farmers in 1926.
