505 0  Introduction: studying rural communities in the Late Roman
       world -- 1. Constituting communities: peasants, families, 
       households -- 2. What really matters: risk, reciprocity, 
       and reputation --3. Small politics: making decisions, 
       managing tension, mediating conflict -- 4. Power as a 
       competitive exercise: potentates and communities -- 5. 
       Resistance, negotiation, and indifference: communities and
       potentates -- 6. Creating communities: taxation and 
       collective responsibility -- 7. Unintended consequences: 
       taxation, power, and communal conflict -- Conclusions. 
520    "This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the 
       'small politics' of rural communities in the Late Roman 
       world. It places the diverse fates of those communities 
       within a generalized model for exploring rural social 
       systems. Fundamentally, social interactions in rural 
       contexts in the period revolved around the desire of 
       individual households to insure themselves against 
       catastrophic subsistence failure and the need of the 
       communities in which they lived to manage the attendant 
       social tensions, inequalities and conflicts. A focus upon 
       the politics of reputation in those communities provides a
       striking contrast to the picture painted by the 
       legislation and the writings of Rome's literate elite: 
       when viewed from the point of view of the peasantry, 
       issues such as the Christianization of the countryside, 
       the emergence of new types of patronage relations, and the
       effects of the new system of taxation upon rural social 
       structures take on a different aspect"--|cProvided by 
       publisher. 
520    "This book is aimed at filling that gap. In the process, 
       it seeks to reconnect the agrarian history of the ancient 
       Mediterranean world with agrarian histories of other 
       periods and other regions. I do this on the assumption 
       that all parties might have useful insights to offer each 
       other on questions of common interest, and with the 
       intention of exploring certain problems that have become 
       politically or philosophically fraught in contemporary 
       contexts"--|cProvided by publisher.
