Moving Europeans, Second Edition
Praise for the first edition: "By far the best general book on its subject.... Moving Europeans will remain a standard reference for some time to come." -Charles Tilly "Moch has reconceived the social history of Europe." --David Levine Moving Europeans tells the story of the vast movements of people throughout Europe and examines the links between human mobility and the fundamental changes that transformed European life. This update of a classic text describes the Western European migration from the pre-industrial era to the year 2000. For this new edition, Leslie Page Moch reconsiders the 20th century in light of fundamental changes in labor, years of conflict, and the new migrations following the end of colonial empires, the fall of communism, and globalization. This new edition also features a greatly expanded and up-to-date bibliography.

Russian and West European Women, 1860-1939
This ambitious study provides a sweeping overview of the position of women in England, France, Germany, and Russia/USSR from 1860-1939. The book illustrates their struggles to realize their dreams and their resourcefulness in coping with often dreary, hard, even horrifying lives. Deftly combining statistical data to underscore collective experiences and belles lettres to highlight the texture of individual women's lives, the book assesses the significance of gender, class, nationality, and religion. This richly researched work traces common patterns and unique experiences in women's lives by showing how they defined themselves, coped with daily life, and confronted disaster with courage and resourcefulness.
The Practice of Everyday Life
Volume 1 considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behavior are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics, and culture. Volume 2 is based on on microhistories that move from the private sphere (of dwelling, cooking, and homemaking) to the public (the experience of living in a neighborhood). Delves into the subtle tactics of resistance and private practices that make living a subversive art.

Mémé Santerre
Deux saisons par an : l'hiver, l'été. Un seul rythme : le travail. L'hiver, c'est l'obscurité, l'humidité, les relents d'une cave devant un métier à tisser. L'été, c'est la terre sur laquelle on est courbé. Quinze heures par jour. La vie de Mémé Santerre, c'est l'histoire bouleversante de la faim, de la pauvreté, du froid, une histoire d'oppression, de guerre et de mort. Et pourtant, la joie rayonne dans cette existence, grâce à un amour qui a tout transfiguré, un amour que la mort même n'a pas pu vaincre, et qui justifie un optimisme et une sérénité inaltérables, jusque dans l'abandon et l'anéantissement de la vieillesse. Mémé Santerre se raconte avec la simplicité des sages, avec la mémoire et le bon sens des grands-mères, avec leur chaleur et leur émotion aussi. Après tout, le bonheur, dans une vie, il n'y a peut-être que ça qui compte...
