Summary Annotation. Two professors of anthropology analyze the effects of the privatization of agriculture in eastern Germany since the demise of communism. The impact of the transition on farmers' concepts of their own identities a central theme. The text is based largely upon 30 oral histories from cooperative managers, newly independent family farmers, and westerners who established farms in the east.
