内战后美国南部的农业机械化与农业体制变革

The Mechanization of Agriculture and the Transformation of Agricultural System in the Post-Bellum American South

本文在史料分析的基础上得出结论认为,内战以后美国南部以个体家庭劳动方式为基础的租佃小农场制在1920至1960年代之间逐渐转变为以雇佣劳动方式为基础的现代资本主义大农场制;这次农业体制变革的根本动力乃是南部的农业机械化。

Based on historical data,the author argues that between the 1920s and the 1960s the small-scale tenant farm system in the American South,based on the labor mode of individual family,was gradually transformed into a large-scale modern capitalist farm system based on the labor mode of employment.The author stresses that the basic force of the transformation is the mechanization of agriculture.
