Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-12 00:00:00 Nicholas Heathcote I feel really conflicted about this book. On the one hand, its significance is clearly important. Seventeenth century New England towns were not as communal as historians depict them. They were governed by exclusive groups of shareholders. However, understanding the nitty gritty of this book is really tricky. Martin likes to show before he tells, so you might not get what his point is right away. Also, it would be helpful if he clearly defined the terms he uses. If the terms used in his primary sources don't work, then he should create some sort of new term that he clearly defines. The book just gets too confusing with his shareholders, inhabitants, residents, proprietors, sojourners, etc.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-11 00:00:00 Nigel Walters Sennett yine isyeri kulturu uzerine acaip zihin acici bir kitap yazmis. Zanaatcilik-Meritokrasi karsilastirmasi ve Foucoult'nun mikro politik yontemini calisanlarin yuzeydeki arzulariyla birlestirerek is yasamina uyarlamasi yontem olarak cok iyi. Ama islemek ve Lacanla birlestirmek gerek bu yontemi. Bu haliyle henuz ham. Ama adamda heralde bir gelenek olsa gerek son bolum fecaat. O zamanlar Ingiltere'de New Labour ruzgari esiyordu. Kitapta onlara da laf gecirdigi bolumler var. Ama kitabin sonunda gidiyor gidiyor, o adamlardan daha da "toplumcu-dayanismaci-yardimlasmaci" oneriler sunuyor.
